Press Release
IO6 Digital Upskilling Program
We implemented, evaluated and validated the digital UP-SKILLING Programme with 15 low-skilled adults from each partner country. This involved unemployed adults as well as refugees. This provided the opportunity to implement the outputs developed, pilot test, evaluate and revise them before they are openly provided to be used at the National and EU level.
Over 100 people were trained face-to-face and on-line in each partner country and we received some positive testimonials:
We created Pilot Report to analyse the results and implement any feedback.
Sustainability
Exploitation and Sustainability Plan: Sets an action plan for all the envisioned dissemination activities and will provide specific guidelines on how to secure the sustainability of the project after it completion.
