The project aims to provide bespoke, on-demand and accessible learning content to managers and employees through interactive infographics presented in the DIVERSITe e-Zines.
The main innovation in the DIVERSITe project is the use of interactive infographics as key access points to the e-Zine curriculum.The infographics for managers and employees work as innovative pedagogic tools to engage both target groups in initial education on the topic of diversity management.
Additionally, the project encourages employees to get involved in co-designing the diversity management plan with their employer, ensuring an ethos of inclusivity throughout the DIVERSITe education model.
The project was borne out of a dearth in appropriate diversity management training programmes on offer from the VET sector in the regions where the project partners work. However, the learning from DIVERSITe in the context of work-based learning can be applied to other education fields and sectors where diversity issues persist.
The creation of Interactive Infographics means that messages to promote diversity can be shared directly on noticeboards in a range of education, work, and social environments in our communities.
DIVERSITe partners work to create local synergies between VET providers and businesses, helping to achieve an impact related to diversity management in both arenas. The project proposes a unique work-based learning partnership that uses accessible and attractive interactive infographics to bring VET providers and their business target groups together.
Partners are keenly aware that VET could be made more accessible and relevant to the business community if both parties were engaged in co-designing educational interventions that help modernise and update VET practice while providing the business community with much-needed resources to address talent and business management practices in our modern, culturally diverse employment landscape.
Through DIVERSITe, project partners engage with both target groups – VET providers and business community representatives – to co-design a set of diversity management training resources that will support business owners, managers, and employees to adapt to diverse and inclusive workplaces.
