This project developed a digital skills tutor training programme. It also developed student resources that cater to the needs of adults living in emergency accommodation.

The project took place between September and December 2023. Student resources cover topics like computer skills and how to access government healthcare and welfare services online. Project organizers also designed a workbook and a training manual for tutors. This material will help train peer mentors, learner champions, and literacy ambassadors.  

This project will play an important part in improving job readiness and digital skills among a wide range of people.

This project was the result of a collaboration between City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB), the Jesuit Refugee Service, Fast Track into Information Technology (FIT), and Fáilte Isteach.
