The ACSOL Project

Acquiring Crisis-proof Skills through Online Learning.

The ACSOL project aims to expand adult digital skills training through online learning. ACSOL have targeted two covid-19 vulnerable sectors: workers in social care/health support and workers in the entertainment, arts and culture sectors.

To do this, the Consortium will design and develop an e-learning toolkit, which will enhance the digital literacy skills of current low-skilled workers through training. This will help workers cope with the crisis caused by COVID-19 and increase their chances of improving their working conditions.

• To create the conditions for making lifelong learning and employability a competitive advantage for workers in our participating regions' social care and entertainment, arts and culture activities.
• To develop new digital approaches to training matching specific sectorial needs.
• To provide low-skilled workers and micro-sized companies with digital skills through open educational resources.
• To increase the awareness of EU business and VET community about the importance of supporting workers with digital skills.

Project Outputs: 

The ACSOL intellectual outputs and activities will have a series of long-lasting impacts, and there will be an especially significant impact on the target users of the toolkit. It will help them acquire the digital skills they need to access online, distance or blended training, and maintain or transform their jobs in these sectors.

The outputs of the project will be made available as soon as they are developed (2022-2023).
