DigiRise Methodology Guide

Aims of the tool

To strengthen digital employability, inclusion and independence among young rural women and mothers by building confidence, practical digital skills, online safety and self-directed learning through flexible, task-based micro-learning.

Description of the tool

The DigiRise Methodology is a practical framework for designing and delivering inclusive digital skills training for young women, particularly those from rural and disadvantaged areas. It combines confidence-first learning, practical tasks, real-life scenarios and flexible micro-learning. Training is organised into six areas: digital empowerment and self-directed learning; basic office skills; online communication and collaboration; digital security and privacy; web development and design; and online marketing and analytics.

Through the methodology, learners are expected to:

build confidence and become more independent digital learners;
use office tools to create documents, spreadsheets and presentations;
organise files and collaborate effectively using online and cloud-based tools;
communicate professionally in digital environments;
recognise online risks and protect personal information;
create a basic website or online professional presence;
use social media, SEO and basic analytics to increase online visibility;
apply digital skills to job seeking, employment, self-employment and everyday life.

The methodology emphasises learning by doing: each lesson leads to a practical action or tangible output, enabling participants to build evidence of their competence while progressively strengthening their employability and digital independence.
