The
development and execution of this project is aimed to people
suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, specially women. Due
to the specific characteristics of MS, and the high percentage
of mobility loss that it produce, a lot of PwMS lose or have
to leave their job, due to the impossibility to move to the
workplace. For the same reasons they also have difficulties
for training. The chances for attending training courses at
specialized centres are low because of both physical and architectonical
barriers, so their adaptation to technological changes is
very slow or impossible, depending on the basic training they
already have or the job they carry out.
Therefore,
their illness not only leads to labour instability, often
ending in unemployment, but it also conditions directly their
aptitude for the maintenance of updated knowledge and skills.
This is specially relevant if we take into account the growing
need for reskilling of workers at all economical sectors.
MS-NET
it is brought up in order to solve reskilling difficulties
of PwMS. Learning how to manage the new technologies
means a great opportunity for people with mobility problems,
since they would be able to get the necessary training without
travelling to training centres, achieving training through
the net.
