Support to Workers and Migrants

Description of the service

Given a migrant and a job on the Internet that he/she wishes to perform, our digital tools learn the sequence of micro-tasks best suited to help this individual develop the digital skills needed to complete the work. The diagram below shows one of our intelligent tools. Since workers help each other to recommend which micro-tasks must be implemented to develop certain digital skills on the job (workers coach and train one another), the system uses this information to learn which types of tasks are more convenient for developing specific skills, and then recommends these tasks to other workers so they develop them and access better salaries. Up to now, our tools have helped train hundreds of workers in thousands of different digital tasks. This has also helped workers access better paid job opportunities (because they now have more specialized skills). Our intelligent tools have been awarded honorable mentions in conferences and scientific journals such as the Conference on Human-Computer Interaction of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM CHI) and the World Wide Web (WWW).
