About the project

Before COVID-19, teleworking was adopted by very few countries and in very few sectors and thus a great number of employees lacked experience in remote working. Current pandemic’s changed our everyday life including our work environment.

Older employees aged over 50+ tend to have fewer ICT and digital skills than younger employees and face more challenges in terms of acquiring new digital knowledge.  With about 30% of them starting working from home, as a result of the COVID-19 situation, there is a crucial need for acquiring some basic digital knowledge. The TeleGrow project aims to deliver a useful training tool to help employees over the age of 50 develop their digital skills and adapt effectively in the new reality of remote working. The project will focus on the provision of relevant VET skills in two groups:

  • VET Trainers
  • VET learners

VET Trainers will become aware of the digital training opportunities which will be inevitable for the training models of tomorrow. VET Trainers of TeleGrow project will be able to implement new training courses digitally centered and working practices that better answer today’s economic and societal and educational challenges.

VET learners in the age group of 50+, will be encouraged to teleworking condition by equipping them with the necessary hard and soft skills to involve themselves as deeply as possible in being a part of this digital transformation. Moreover, they will learn new competences thanks to a digital and WorkBased experience.

TeleGrow at its core is determined to enhance and develop Erasmus+ priorities to improve digital hard and soft skills. The quality and attractiveness of the outputs is expected to reach great impact on those who look to upskill and receive training, providing them more opportunities for professional development but also facilitating the possibility for an in real time collaboration/dialogue among the VET Trainers and learners.
