Digitization competencies training teaches digital skills and digitization process management. The training provides participants the understanding in the digitization process and gives competence to make digitization projects. It is aimed at workers in the document administration, information management and archiving sectors but anyone interested in digitization can apply to it. The training will take place twice in 2022.
BACKGROUND
The decision to situating the mass digitization functions of the Finnish National Archives in Mikkeli was reached in the spring 2020. In 2021, skilled digitizers and digitization specialists were trained to meet the current and future needs of working life. In addition to the actual employment of digitization workers, there has also been a need for greater digitization understanding in organizations that work in document management/information management tasks. Cooperation with the municipal sector and businesses and to continue existing partnerships are essential for this project.
OBJECTIVES
