Abstract
This is a case study detailing the 2021 IELA Gold award winner for Blended Learning, Saffron Interactive’s Create Your Own Future. This project was developed to support those most at risk from digital disruption into the labour market and towards sustainable employment.
Highlights
The world has been facing a reskilling crisis as a result of digital disruption, even prior to COVID-19; the pandemic has accelerated this issue
An innovation foundation and The Department for Education (UK), chose Saffron as an innovator to develop a digital solution to the lack of career adaptability within this target cohort, and it was to be made available to the general public
Saffron partnered with the Trades Union Congress so that the solution could be deployed to members of unions
Summary
The world has been facing a reskilling crisis as a result of digital disruption, even prior to COVID-19; the pandemic has accelerated this issue. It has affected those who are in more manual jobs and have historically had lower educational attainment, those who have the least access to training from their employers, and those with the least ability to purchase training. Create Your Own Future, Saffron Interactive’s employability support platform, was designed to respond to this pressing need: supporting individuals on their personal journey towards sustainable employment, enabling them to harness the valuable transferrable skills already developed and to encourage career adaptability. A solution was required that could be deployed on a mass scale
