Description

The Cultural Administration VGR has been awarded ESF funds for digital competence development within the museum and library sector in West Sweden. The project runs for two years and consists of five competence development modules totaling 116 hours. The modules are designed to meet employees' individual competence development needs and cover areas such as basic digital competence, leadership and change management, digital pedagogy, digital communication, and open and linked data. Approximately 670 people participate in the project. Participants have different professional roles, prior knowledge, and needs, and therefore only participate in relevant modules.

The project starts in autumn 2026. Initially, the project, learning modules, and communication will be planned. Subsequently, the competence-enhancing measures will begin.

We are now looking for three trainers (50%) who are responsible for planning and implementing training initiatives within digital competence development. You will be part of a team that strengthens the competence of employees and managers within the museum and library sector.

• good pedagogical ability and experience in adapting content

• work within public operations or politically governed organizations
• developing training materials for physical and digital training

Personal Competencies
