<< Background >>With the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic, technology is becoming even more ubiquitous. Digital growth, increased automation and artificial intelligence (AI) require individuals to be committed lifelong learners (ETF, 2020) – thinking about their transferable skills, switching from at-risk sectors to remain in employment and/or simply browsing for new career ideas. There is a growing need to increase efforts in promoting learning and work opportunities. Individuals need easy access to trustworthy careers information, advice and guidance (Attwell & Hughes, 2019), particularly in volatile, uncertain and complex labour markets.In seeking employment, considering career change or undertaking training, Labour Market Intelligence is increasingly being seen as key. For careers support services, understanding how best to use open datasets in this context, capturing new and evolving labour market trends and new forms of career trajectories, is vital. Digital technologies are deeply intertwined with human activities. We believe humans and bots can potentially work well together (Arthur, 2021). New technology creates online spaces and places for constant interaction between humans and non-humans. The use of big open datasets has significant potential, including use of national and local labour market trends, salaries, and job prospects, though has proved challenging in many countries (Řihová, 2016).<< Objectives >>CareerBot partnership seeks to improve Digital Readiness of the Career Guidance sector by implementing CareerBot methodology and tool, facilitating blended guidance sessions and to use customized Labor Market Intelligence LMI) to empower marginalized job seekers.We want to put Career Guidance Practitioners at the centre and assist them – and their organisations - on the path of digitalisation so that they can advise their clients in the best possible way. By the help of our Methodology, job seekers are able to gather relevant information before and after personal interviews, so that valuable personal services can be used efficiently. With the “CareerBot project” we propose a pilot that focuses on the role of career guidance, which became more demanding, and must be adapted more rapidly and flexibly to the changing needs of the new world of work.<< Implementation >>The CareerBot partnership includes 7 partners from 5 countries with diverse profiles, research center as coordinator, 2 technology partners (ACP and Pontydysgu) and one Career Guidance Organization for each partner Country as Implementing Partners.All partners will be responsible for the development, co-creation and implementation of the project and lead different project results (4) and activities based upon their expertise. Each partner will participate with 2 Career Guidance Practitioners at the LTTA in Germany and all implementing partners will organize User groups for co-creation of the CareerBot tool and transfer CareerBot Methodology to min. 3 National Transfer Organizations, where several staff members will be involved. .All partners are responsible for organizing Partner Meetings (Virtual and Face2Face and 2 Multiplier Events in each country, including the final dissemination event in Spain.Further dissemination and exploitation activities will include ongoing updating of the project website, posting in social media channels and editing project newsletters. Project Management, Quality Management, Internal and External Evaluation are important ongoing activities.<< Results >>The CareerBot project includes 4 project results (R) or outcomes: - CareerBot Content and Methodology, - CareerBot Tool- Blended CareerBot training for Career Guidance Practitioner- Transfer Handbook for Implementation with focus on Organisational Development (OD)Further Result und outcomes will be:-Learning-Teaching-Training Event for Career Guidance Officers in Germany- CareerBot Website and Social Media Channels as main dissemination and sustainability tool- 10 Multiplier Events (including Final Dissemination Event in Spain)- Internal and External Evaluation Reports- Dissemination Strategy- 7 Project Meetings (incl. 3 Green Virtual Meetings)- Project & Quality Management Handbook
