m-Polar Diophantine Neutrosophic N-Soft Set for Digital Competencies and Traditional Skills: Toward Holistic Training for New Craftsmen

Abstract

Digital technology's quick development has changed the face of craftsmanship by 
changing how traditional skills are taught, practiced, and passed down. To provide 
comprehensive training models for aspiring artisans in the digital era, this study investigates the 
relationship between digital capabilities and traditional skills. The study emphasizes the need for 
a well-rounded strategy that combines technological competence with the preservation of 
cultural heritage by examining ten possible training options and six fundamental criteria: digital 
literacy, innovation and creativity, skill preservation, market adaptability, sustainability 
awareness, and pedagogical integration. This study uses neutrosophic model for ranking the 
alternatives and overcome uncertainty. According to the findings, the preservation of traditional 
methods is still essential to preserving authenticity and cultural value, even when digital 
capabilities like design software, e-commerce, and online learning platforms make artisans more 
globally competitive. To foster both innovation and legacy continuity, the study highlights the 
value of integrated training techniques, which include maker spaces, industry-academia 
alliances, and mentoring programs. In the end, this all-encompassing viewpoint puts emerging 
artisans as both innovators and cultural carriers who may prosper in a world that is more 
connected by technology.
