NEW FREE E-LEARNING: SKILLS SUMMARY

We are excited to let you know that we’ve launched the new Skills Summary e-learning course for youth workers and those working with young people!  

Skills Summary is an easy to use online tool that helps young people recognise and capture the skills developed through non-formal education and youth work and helps you measure the impact of your projects. 

The content of this e-learning is tailored for both the new Skills Summary users as well as the experienced users.

We made it short, simple, and consumable in bite sizes:   

• The course comprises of six modules and should take you approximately 30 minutes to complete.  
• You can do it at your own pace.  
• You can also click into modules in the order you prefer. E.g., if you are already familiar with the concept of Skills Summary, but would like to remind yourself of how to navigate the website, you can simply skip the first two modules and click into Module 3: Tour of the Tool.
