ENOT - ennakoitua osaamista työelämään

The ENOT project develops an ENOT cooperation model for workplaces, the purpose af which is ta promote the competence development of workplace personnel by utilising digital skills mapping and development tools. The model combines previously dispersed activities, especially in relation ta existing and developing digital workplace competence development models. ln addition ta this, the ENOT cooperation model is also instructive, and it allows the competence of workplace personnel ta be developed with the support of the educational institution and in a systematic manner. The ENOT cooperation model can be used to develop task-specific competence by creating microcredits, or it can be used ta bring personnel ta degree-based training or ta supplement their previous studies. 

Competence development plays an important role in workplaces, and this importance will only increase in the future. The cooperation model of the ENOT project increases the company's learning-friendly atmosphere and opens up a persona! opportunity for individuals ta receive coaching on ownership of their own competence development. Taking responsibility for learning combined with the easily approachable operating model offered at the workplace promotes applying for studies, acquiring additional education or supplementing a previous degree. 

This approach solves many of the challenges of previous continuous learning projects. A large­scale competence survey will not be introduced into the workplace, but it will be replaced by an intuitive and employee-oriented digital mapping model. An extensive competence survey is often a functional but particularly laborious operating model that is usually unlikely to remain the company's own operations. 

The project offers the employee the opportunity to familiarise themselves with a wide range 
of existing training offerings and to help the employee tailor a suitable training package from the training offered in educational institutions. This kind of employee- and employer-oriented operating model also enables the company's management and personnel to jointly pian the training that makes the most sense for the company and employees. To this end, the project will also study the so-called 'Symposium'. tailoring small study modules to suit the employee's needs. Small study modules allow employees to supplement their skills from their own starting point in the best possible way. 

The ENOT project also supports sustainable employment. Sustainable employment refers to an individual's ability and opportunity to get a job, keep their job and advance in their careers, as well as conditions in which employees have the opportunity to contribute to society in the right way in relation to their own  resources.

The project will also develop a guide to workplace pedagogy. This guide brings together workplace training approaches from previous projects in both secondary and higher education institutions. However, a large part of the pedagogical content of the guide concerns how the workplace implements a digital tool. This pedagogical expertise will be tested during the project, and the resulting guide will support all workplace learning.

The project is implemented by Laurea University of Applied Sciences, Forum Virium Helsinki, and Stadin AO (Helsinki Vocational College).
