Partnerships

At the Digital Reskilling Lab, we pride ourselves on our ability to establish partnerships that align the goals of both industry leaders and academic researchers. To date, we have successfully built and maintained over twenty partnerships with private firms and public sector organizations across various regions. Our seasoned approach ensures that each partnership is tailored to meet the unique objectives of all parties involved, fostering innovation and translating into impactful results in reskilling initiatives.

Our role

Evaluation of the costs and benefits of selected reskilling programs. We evaluate reskilling activities through Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) or similar counterfactual approaches and provide support to structure the roll-out of these programs and the data collection needed to evaluate their effects.

Evaluation of the scalability of promising reskilling programs. Once we identify promising approaches (i.e. effective skill acquisition relative to the cost of programs), we aim to evaluate whether they can be replicated.

Comparison and synthesis. Once knowledge on individual approaches is established, we compare and synthesize it in effective ways for all audiences.

Partner contribution

To ensure the success of our collaborations, we work with partners who can provide:

Information on Reskilling Program. We would require details on the structure and content of your existing reskilling program.
Understanding Target Population. We would need demographic data on the participants in your program, including factors such as gender, age, tenure, position, and education. This helps us better understand the impact of your reskilling efforts across different segments.
Auxiliary Data. To evaluate the program’s success, we need measurements of key intermediate and final outputs. Additionally, it would be valuable to track participants’ long-term career outcomes.
Timing and Involvement. Information on the timing of your reskilling initiatives and the key individuals involved would ensure we consider the right factors.
Building Counterfactuals. To rigorously assess the impact of your reskilling initiatives, we may employ methods like Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) or similar approaches to create counterfactual scenarios.
