TeleGrow: “Enhancing the Teleworking Digital Skills for the Middle aged employees”

Implementation period: 01.03.2021 – 28.02.2023
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2020-1-ES01-KA226-VET096306

Project description:

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. Employees in the age group of 50+ seem to be a particularly vulnerable group to the overall situation as they are not only threatened by the virus itself but also by the rapidly changing working conditions. 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.

We introduce the TeleGrow project – designing suitable training materials, the project will equip VET Trainers and providers with necessary knowledge and tools in order to (re)train and upskill employees aged 50+ and help them work efficiently from home.

A key focus point of the TeleGrow project is to provide the appropriate methodology in order to help employees of older age adjust to the new working reality.

Target Groups:

-VET Trainers

-VET learners/employees aged 50+

Intellectual Outputs:

The partnership will produce four innovative Intellectual Outputs answering to the abovementioned needs and based on actual witnesses of VET Trainers and VET learners over the age of 50:

-IO1TeleGrow Interactive Report

-IO2 How to stay gOLD Guide

-IO3 How to TeleGrow Training Modules

– IO4 TeleGrow Hub
