Digital tool for soft skills & digital resilience personal awareness assessment
The Digital Tool supports adult learners in identifying their strengths and weaknesses in transversal soft skills and digital resilience. Through a combination of self-assessment questionnaires and scenario-based exercises, users receive immediate feedback, gain insight into their behavioural patterns, and are classified into skill “patterns” with tailored recommendations for further development. In just a few minutes, the tool helps learners enhance resilience and adaptability, contributing to personal and professional growth while addressing skills mismatches in the modern workplace.
Practical Scenarios for Soft Skills & Digital Resilience Assessment
- Practical scenario-based exercises (6 scenarios, each with 4 multiple-choice responses).
- Mapping of user responses into four behavioural patterns (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green).
- Tailored recommendations for each pattern, including remedial and strategies to strengthen areas of weakness.
Self-assessment questionnaire
A bank of self-assessment questions based on Likert scale (covering communication, leadership, time management, adaptability, team spirit, conflict resolution, ethics, etc.).
Why to use the EARTHE Digital Tool?
Relevance of Soft Skills & Digital Resilience Personal Awareness Assessment
While technical skills are often prioritised in training and employment, they alone are insufficient for workplace success. Transversal skills—such as communication, problem-solving, leadership, adaptability, and conflict resolution—are increasingly valued by employers, yet studies indicate that up to 80% of adults remain unaware of their gaps in these areas. The Digital Tool addresses this challenge by providing an accessible, user-friendly platform for self-assessment and feedback, supporting individual growth, enhancing employability, and strengthening resilience and adaptability to technological change
Target group and application context
The Tool is designed to support adult learners from diverse backgrounds, including recent graduates with less than one year of work experience, individuals at risk of unemployment due to skills mismatches, and learners from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g., rural areas, low-income families, ethnic or religious minorities, and migrants). It is also intended for adult educators and trainers, who can use the Tool to tailor training programmes, as well as external technical and pedagogical experts, who will provide peer review and quality assurance.
The Tool can be applied in continuous professional education and training programmes, institutional contexts supporting vulnerable learners, and in open-access settings for self-directed learners seeking to improve their soft skills and digital resilience independently.
