Erasmus+ Key Action 2 (KA2) funds strategic partnerships between organizations—schools, universities, training centers, NGOs, and companies—across Europe and beyond. The aim is to develop and exchange innovative practices, tools, and methods in education, training, and youth work. Projects address topics like digital transformation, inclusion, and sustainability, leading to tangible results such as toolkits, curricula, and digital platforms. KA2 encourages long-term collaboration and institutional development, allowing partners to share knowledge and build capacity. With a duration of 1 to 3 years, KA2 strengthens networks, improves systems, and contributes to innovation in European education and lifelong learning.
“Remote Occupation Skills Education equips people, especially those currently out of the labour market, with the skills and confidence to succeed in remote careers and achieve economic independence. It offers a universal training pathway that blends core competencies—time management, professional communication, digital collaboration, and self-leadership—with job-specific tracks. To ensure scale and longevity, ROSE creates mentorship modules that organisations can adopt and adapt for diverse target groups.
Participants begin with a work-activation diagnostic to map strengths and gaps, then progress through hands-on materials with practical exercises and real-world tools. A pilot with a cohort of unemployed mothers informs improvements and relevance. Results and resources are shared through a practical guidebook, multiplier events, a final conference, and an interactive website with community features that keep learners, mentors, and partners connected.
ROSE strengthens employability with immediately usable skills and a support network. Organisations gain reusable training modules and diagnostics; the online community enables ongoing peer learning. Its universal, modular design makes replication straightforward across regions and audiences, broadening access to flexible work and advancing economic independence and social inclusion.
