Description of the tool

Welcome to the Handbook for GigUp Trainers, a comprehensive training guide developed to equip trainers with the knowledge, skills, and training strategies necessary for effectively delivering training to gig workers. This handbook delves into the challenging gig economy domain, not just in Europe but globally, providing insights into the unique challenges and opportunities it presents. The gig economy’s flexible nature has constituted gig economy a growing segment of the global workforce. This creates implications for workers, especially those identified as NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training).

Our handbook provides a structured and systematic approach to address these changes, offering trainers a roadmap to navigate this dynamic sector. The handbook is divided into eight chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of training gig workers. From understanding the gig economy's landscape to developing future-proof skills, all chapters, including the bonus chapters, are designed to cover a broad spectrum of topics relevant to both gig workers and professional trainers.

The handbook is not a collection of information; it is a toolkit designed to empower trainers and the gig workers they support. Understanding the complexities of the gig economy and mastering the skills outlined in this guide will arm trainers with the knowledge required to make a significant impact in the professionals’ lives of gig workers and at the same time contribute to shaping a more adaptable, skilled, and resilient workforce.
