Remote Occupation Skills Education is a Cooperation Partnership in vocational education and training co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme. The project develops a universal, modular pathway to prepare people for remote work through a readiness diagnostic, structured training modules, mentoring resources and an online community space. Umbria Training Center (UTC, Spoleto) coordinates the partnership.
The consortium brings together:
Umbria Training Center, Spoleto, ITALY;
Linking Foundation – Fundacja Wspierania Więzi Lokalnych, Tarnów, POLAND;
Akademia Przemiany i Rozwoju Człowieka (APIRC), Gliwice, POLAND;
ASOCIATIA D.G.T, Bucharest, ROMANIA;
The Rural Centre, Clones, IRELAND.
The partnership combines VET delivery, community engagement and digital-skills development to create a transferable model that other organisations can adopt.
The project launched with a face-to-face kick-off meeting in Spoleto, Italy (22 November 2024), hosted by UTC as coordinator. Partners aligned on scope, governance and quality procedures; confirmed a 12-module structure covering core remote-work competencies; and agreed to develop multilingual training and replicable mentoring guidance. The kick-off also set dissemination milestones for newsletters and a public project website.
In March 2025, the second Transnational Partner Meeting (TPM) took place in Kraków, Poland, continuing the technical planning and content work begun in Spoleto. Ahead of the TPM, partners coordinated logistics and agenda items publicly; immediately after, they reported agreement on module selections and next steps for interactive components (e.g., quizzes and assessments) to support learner engagement and quality assurance.
Following the Kraków TPM, the partnership convened an online working session on 10 June 2025 to review the action plan and confirm the completion status of draft modules. The session prioritised adding interactivity, refining assessment, and organising translations to widen access. These checkpoints form part of an iterative development cycle integrating partner feedback and pilot insights.
Project communication and dissemination have included ROSE newsletters and partner news posts to inform stakeholders about progress and forthcoming activities. Publications in November 2024 and April/June 2025 summarised aims, module themes and initial outputs, and directed readers to the project’s public channels for updates.
ROSE will deliver a readiness/diagnostic tool; 12 training modules with webinar/workshop options and mentoring templates; translations in four languages; and an implementation guide to support replication by VET providers, NGOs and community organisations. Dissemination includes a guidebook, multiplier events, a final conference, and an interactive website with community features. The approach is designed for reuse with diverse target groups, including those currently outside the labour market.
UTC leads coordination, with each partner responsible for content development, piloting and dissemination tasks aligned to their expertise and regional networks. Meetings (kick-off, TPMs and scheduled online sessions) provide structured opportunities to review progress against indicators, manage risk and ethics, and plan subsequent phases. Outputs are iteratively improved through peer review and user feedback gathered during pilots.
