A free education project for small cities and rural areas, an online course developed by professional experts in order to impart knowledge and skills to make a person reach the next level professionally. The project participants are offered nine soft skills development courses and six professional modules: for example they can master the copywriter, targetologist, or ssm-manager’s job.

A course lasts three weeks and is provided 24/7 via the Getcourse platform installed on a desktop computer or a smartphone/tablet. During a three-weeks course the students get all the essential information about the soft skills and secrets of employment in as succinct a form as possible, and study the fundamentals of remote jobs enabling them to set a work schedule convenient for them.

The course has been developed according to the key education principles for adults: brevity, involvement, practice-oriented format.

The studies for one class last two weeks.

Training is delivered via the Getcourse platform, and includes:

20 pre-recorded videos, up to 10 minutes long
5 live webinars
Tutors support chat
10 experts
Competitions and gifts from partners (LitRes, Headhunter, City Business School, Netology online professions school)

The project is supported by Presidential grants fund. By now 900 students have been trained in the Volga Federal District.

We’re planning to replicate the project in other Russian regions (at least 2,100 students, 7 classes).
