ALTER over Covid-19 barriers

The emergency situation related to the coronavirus created additional challenges in the implementation of the ALTER project. Instead of a face to face partnership meeting on June 30, an online one was held. The economic consequences of the pandemic have yet to be assessed and analyzed, but the sharp rise in unemployment is a fact. Now that the first signs of recovery are in place and the labor market is intensifying, the project's target group is at a disadvantage. Adults who do not have enough skills to take advantage of the new ways of applying for a job preferred by employers. Many of the representatives of the target group, due to their early dropping out of the education system do not have the necessary knowledge and skills to take advantage of modern job search tools, often fall into the trap of misleading ads or find it difficult to present to the employer the skills they possess.

Based on the analysis of the results obtained from the first intellectual output, the partners identified the topics they will work on in order to provide adult educators with modern resources to overcome these educational gaps. The modules that will be worked on are:
• TEACHING METHODS AND LEARNING STRATEGIES,
• CONTENT CREATION & COMMUNICATION IN DIGITAL ENVIRONMENTS,
• ONLINE SAFETY,
• USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION TOOLS FOR JOB SEARCH & APPLICATION,
• BROWSING SEARCHING AND FILTERING DATA & CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ONLINE JOB,
practically covering the whole spectrum of knowledge necessary for successful participation in the online labor market.
All materials will be available on an online training platform in all partner languages, and more information about the project can be found on the project website - www.alterproject.eu
