The RJ4All International Institute is pleased to offer this unique and highly interactive e-course, aiming to empower our Community Centre’ users, local residents and especially migrants and refugees in their integration journey in their host country.

The e-course has four modules, which aim to provide trainees with practical tools on how to: (a)  use Information Technology and become digitally aware (b) settle (c) search, prepare and get a job.

Ultimately, the e-course aims to restore respect by boosting employability and enhancing integration potential.

The e-course can be paused as many times as needed. It takes approximately 10 non-stop hours to fully complete all modules and take the CPD test. Additional reading material are also provided for optional further learning and research.We have included software that make the e-course accessible in various languages as well as for those with visual and hearing impairments.

The e-course was made possible with the generous support of the WCIT Charity and Clarion Futures (Digital Grants Programme). The ecourse has been prepared by the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership comprising of the RJ4All International Institute (UK), EDRA (Greece), Foundation Altius (Spain), ICSE & Co (Italy) and CSI (Cyprus). The course convener is Prof. Theo Gavrielides. Prior to designing this ecourse, the partnership carried out thorough research that involved our target groups. The findings were published as part of the RRP e-book, which can be downloaded from here
