Digital Literacy Advisor

Major challenges

You’re probably aware that 33% of 15-year-olds have low literacy skills. And that 2.5 million Dutch people struggle with reading, writing, math, and using a computer or smartphone. Libraries and schools face major challenges. To help libraries, we advise them on how to collaborate with schools and which programs are best suited for this. Sometimes we develop a product, such as the Wolk app, which can be seamlessly integrated into libraries’ (digital) language programs. Fortunately, you’re a pro at this and have even more to offer.

What will you be doing?

Your responsibilities are varied. You’ll be filling in for Aniek, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. You’ll advise libraries on how to collaborate with educational organizations to implement a language-digital approach. Sometimes you’ll work at a library for a short period to achieve the results you envision. In addition, you’ll help our clients teach digital skills to children ages 0 to 18. So you’ll be laying the foundation for life in the online information society. And, of course, you’ll be the main point of contact for our Wolk app.

About us

Probiblio advises public libraries in North and South Holland. We assist them with research, provide new insights, and offer advice on digitization, HR, and their operations. Together with the library, we develop educational policies and support the library in implementing and ensuring their success. In doing so, we help libraries put themselves on the map.
