"The Level Up project, funded by the European Union Erasmus+ Adult Education Program, was implemented to provide digital skills to adults with blue-collar occupations. The coordinating institution of the project is Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. Partner institutions involved in the project are: The Governorship of Istanbul, TÜRKONFED (Turkey), Bridging to the Future (England), Egina (Italy), MediaCreativa (Spain) and Instituto de Soldadura e Qualidade (Portugal). During the project, a training content consisting of 14 different digital skills training modules that blue-collar adults can benefit from was prepared and transferred to the developed digital training platform. In addition, a teacher's handbook has been developed as a guide and presented to the instructors who train blue-collar adult students.The training content designed for the Level Up project were developed after a 2-stage study.Project Outputs: IO1 (Leading Partner MediaCreativa) - Current Situation Analysis of Adult Training Centers and Adult Trainers in Terms of Digital Skills Training in Partner Countries: In this output the education methods, strategies and samples of adult education centres in Turkey and in the countries of the partner institutions were examined and a European report was prepared. This output revealed strategies used in digital skills training of adult training centres, containing good practices in terms of digital skills training offered by these centers. As the last activity of this output we created a European report projecting a European scope on digital skills training in Europe whic made it transferable at European level. In this output we developed a template for good practices and strategies, a template for approaches and technologies used by adult trainers. Partners interviewed adult training center representatives and adult trainers, results collected from all partners were embedded in the European report.IO2 (Leading Partner TÜRKONFED) - Need Analysis: Aim of this output was to be able to assess which digital skills are needed to develop and which skills are possessed by blue and pink collar workers. After the completion of this output, we had the European wide skill lists which are needed by blue and pink collar workers in order to become up-to-date for the digitalisation of work places. In this output a desk research on finding the required skills of digital era for blue and pink collar workers: Partners found 5 different and most needed skills in the new digital era during the desk research and meeting with focus groups consisting of career experts, trainers from the field and employers were organises in order to find out the digital skills required for digital era and learn current digital skills of blueand pink collar workers. A questionnaire was implemented with the participation of 40 blue and pink collar workers from each partner organisation and they were asked about the skills detected during the first two activities and this way their needs were understood.IO3 (Leading Partner Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality) - the training contents were developed according to the training titles determined considering the results of IO2. As a result of this activity, 14 different training modules were prepared and a digital training platform was established to transfer the produced training contents. The steps of this output included: Distribution of the determined training module titles considering the experiences of partner organisations. Preparation of training materials for 2 skills per partner and validation of the training content in order to improve the content.IO4 (Leading Partner EGINA) - Training contents were uploaded to this platform and the platform was tested by a total of 70 experts (adult trainers) and 35 blue-collar adult students with the work carried out by each partner institution, and feedback was received from the end users about the platform. As a result of the feedback obtained, improvement studies were carried out on the platform.IO5 (Leading Partner Governorship of Istanbul) - the ""Teacher's Handbook"" was prepared and a document was created to guide adult educators who will use the educational content produced within the scope of the Level Up project. The handbook created describes the in-class activities related to the training content and the working system of the digital education platform and it is ready to download in all partner languages on the project website which is: https://levelup.ibb.istanbul/All intellectual outputs described on the project application form were realised during the project’s lifetime thanks to the partners' commitment to the project.5 TPMs were held, one in every partner country with 56 participants in total. One LTTA event was held with 17 participants and 6 Multiplier events were organised to disseminate the project to different stakeholders with the participation of 205 partcipants in all partner organisations."
