Closing the RETAIN ME project in the best possible way:  From partner-countries’ promotional workshops to the final meeting and conference in Sweden

RETAIN ME partners never take a break! These last few weeks, partner-organisations were busy organizing their multiplier events, marking the closure of the project in each partner-country with a promotional workshop on ‘The Future of Remote Working’, in audiences of adult trainers, adult learners, HR people, decision-makers, etc. The project results, i.e. the Employer’s Toolkit – PR1, the Vulnerable Employee Toolkit – PR2, and the MOOC – PR3, which hosts PR1 and PR2 along with a Community of Practice (CoP), were presented and an opportunity was given to the participants to discuss the project achievements and provide their feedback and evaluation.

Overview of RETAIN ME project

Remote working skills among the older population are not as prevalent as they are within the younger digital immigrant and digital native workforce. These older workers need an opportunity to build key skills for remote working if they are to stay active in the workforce.

Governments can ill afford to sustain the economic cost of a high number of able-bodied people unable to retain their employment because of an underlying health. The European Green deal and the Sustainable Development Goals propose a fairer, more equitable society where no one is left behind. RETAIN-ME project responds to those ideals and will develop remote working solutions in the form of bespoke training resources to ensure that vulnerable workers can be retained in employment.
