The ReSTART project aims to empower unemployed adults with job-relevant AI skills and human-AI collaboration competencies, ensuring their reintegration into the labor market, particularly in remote and hybrid administrative, customer service, and virtual assistant roles.

The project develops an accessible, problem-based AI learning program, a digital platform with micro-credentials, and workplace exposure opportunities, fostering AI workforce readiness and policy adoption across Europe.
