AREA Discovery Tool (Staff)

The AREA Discovery Tool transforms your understanding of digital, AI, and green skills by providing a personalised report and action plan to guide you toward lifelong success in an evolving world. Through this interactive tool, you will embark on a journey of discovery — exploring your digital and sustainability competences, identifying areas for growth, and gaining insights to enhance your learning and career development. This course supports self-awareness and continuous improvement, empowering learners to take control of their own digital and sustainable learning pathways. This initiative was developed by the AREA Project Team (ATU) in collaboration with the N-TUTORR Network. My Digital Backpack was developed under the N‑TUTORR programme and funded by the European Union under the NextGenerationEU initiative, as part of Ireland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP).
