### From a Verified Hour to a Report You Can File
URL: https://theeducationalequalityinstitute.org/blog/from-a-verified-hour-to-a-report-you-can-file-en/
Published: 2026-10-01
How a manager builds a contribution report, a CSRD or VSME template, a GRI view or a board presentation in CSR Cockpit, and what sits behind every figure.

FAQ:
- Q: Is a CSR Cockpit export compliant with CSRD, VSME, GRI or IFRS?
  A: No export is certified or audited. These views are reporting templates. They combine relevant company data with source records and identify information you still need to supply. Your organisation remains responsible for its disclosure.
- Q: Can I see which learner my employee worked with?
  A: No. A company report shows the employee, the programme and the verified time. The identity of the learner, mentee or course participant stays with TEEI.
- Q: What does CSR Cockpit cost?
  A: Nothing. The workspace is free for every partner, with no employee cap and no paid version. TEEI runs the programmes your employees take part in; the workspace exists so that the work can be reported properly.
- Q: Who approves a new workspace?
  A: We do. You apply with your work email, confirm it, and a person at TEEI reviews the application before the workspace opens.
- Q: How do I know the audit log has not been edited?
  A: The workspace checks its signed audit history for breaks. Older unsigned entries and entries it cannot verify are reported separately.
- Q: Can my employees see their own records?
  A: Yes. Each employee has a personal portal with their own hours, programmes, achievements and certificate. Nobody sees another employee's row from the portal.

### Why Our CSR Workspace Is Free, and How to Check It
URL: https://theeducationalequalityinstitute.org/blog/free-to-use-built-to-be-checked-en/
Published: 2026-09-22
No licence fee, no seat charge and no paywall on reports: what free covers, what a CSR Cockpit report holds, and how a verified hour is counted.

FAQ:
- Q: Is there a paid tier of CSR Cockpit with more features, or better reports?
  A: No. There is no licence fee, setup fee or employee seat charge, and reporting is not behind a paywall. Company access, employee participation and CSR Cockpit reporting are included. Free for every partner.
- Q: Are the hours in a company report self-reported by employees?
  A: Verified one-to-one hours in TEEI Language and TEEI Mentorship come from shared video-session time: the time the employee and the learner were connected together, taken from the session records. Booked time is not counted, sessions under five minutes do not count, and sessions still awaiting attendance evidence are tracked separately. Self-reported hours are labelled separately and are not included in the verified total.
- Q: Is the report independently audited?
  A: No. Verified means calculated by TEEI from its own session records using the published method. It is not a claim of independent audit or certification. What we provide instead is a published method, figures linked to their sources, an audit history in the workspace and a public counter anyone can open.
- Q: Does my company have to donate to take part?
  A: No. We do not require a donation. Financial support is optional.
- Q: Is capacity unlimited?
  A: No. There is no limit on how many employees can take part, but specific sessions have their own capacity and access rules.

Published: 2026-09-22
Putting volunteer hours in a CSR report? Follow one verified hour through TEEI Language, TEEI Mentorship and CSR Cockpit, from approval to your report.

FAQ:
- Q: Does CSR Cockpit count booked time?
  A: No. For one-to-one sessions, Cockpit counts the time the employee and the learner spent together. Only sessions with at least five minutes of shared attendance count, and records awaiting evidence stay separate.
- Q: Can the public counter show my company?
  A: No. The public counter publishes global aggregates only. Company figures live in your own Cockpit workspace.
- Q: What does CSR Cockpit cost?
  A: Nothing. There is no licence fee, no setup fee and no employee limit, and we do not require a donation.
- Q: Are TEEI Language and TEEI Mentorship hours counted the same way?
  A: Yes. Both programmes run on the same platform and the same attendance rule. The public counter combines them.

### How TEEI Counts a Verified Volunteer Hour
URL: https://theeducationalequalityinstitute.org/blog/how-teei-counts-a-verified-volunteer-hour-en/
Published: 2026-09-29
A logged hour and an observed hour are different measurements. Here is what one verified volunteer hour consists of, and how to check the counter yourself.

FAQ:
- Q: Does a conversation hour include the volunteer's preparation time?
  A: No. A conversation hour is only the time a volunteer and a learner were connected to the same video room at the same time. Preparation, travel, waiting alone in the room and follow-up messages are not measured and are not counted.
- Q: What happens to a session where only one person turned up?
  A: It contributes no hours. The counter reads the overlap of two connected spans, and one span alone has no overlap.
- Q: Why can measured hours exceed booked hours?
  A: Because we count shared time up to the booking's duration plus 30 minutes, not the booked time itself. Shared time above that cap is excluded.
- Q: Can I see one volunteer or one company on the public counter?
  A: No. The public counter publishes global aggregates only: no individual data, no company breakdown, no city or country pairs.
- Q: Are group club hours in the headline figure?
  A: No. Group conversation clubs are reported in their own block and never summed into the headline. Club hours are each participant's observed time in the room, which is a different measure from two-sided conversation time.
- Q: Is the counter independently audited?
  A: No. It is TEEI's own measurement, taken from our own video room records, and we say so plainly. What we offer instead is a counter you can open yourself and a written account of exactly what it includes and excludes.

### Employment Among Ukrainian Refugees
URL: https://theeducationalequalityinstitute.org/blog/employment-among-ukrainian-refugees-en/
Published: 2023-03-22
The employment barrier is layered: language, recognition, care responsibilities and local market knowledge all shape the path to employment.

Key facts:
- Employment barriers for Ukrainian refugees are layered, including credential recognition, local market knowledge, language proficiency, and care responsibilities, not a simple lack of skills.
- Beyond credential recognition, displaced professionals also face unfamiliar interview norms, non-existent professional networks, and gaps in confidence using professional language under pressure.
- Practical language fluency and significant care responsibilities are critical, often overlooked factors that directly shape the pace and feasibility of a person's return to work.
- Effective support systems reduce friction by integrating language support, market-specific mentoring, and skills development, unlike fragmented approaches where momentum is often lost between services.

Key takeaways:
- Employment barriers for displaced Ukrainians are layered: credential recognition, language confidence, childcare, local market knowledge, and professional networks.
- Training alone does not solve the problem. People also need conversation practice, context, and practical guidance.
- The strongest interventions reduce friction between stages instead of forcing people to restart with a different organisation every time.
- A connected route from study to conversation to mentoring produces more usable momentum than isolated services.

### What a Mentoring Conversation Can Help With
URL: https://theeducationalequalityinstitute.org/blog/career-mentoring-displaced-professionals-en/
Published: 2026-10-07
A mentor in your field can give you the local map, a translation of your experience and sometimes an introduction. What they cannot do, and how to prepare.

FAQ:
- Q: Will a mentor find me a job?
  A: No. A mentor is not a recruiter or a placement agency. A mentor can help you understand how hiring works in your field, improve your CV and interview answers, and sometimes introduce you to people. The applications and the job are still yours.
- Q: Do I need to finish a course before I can have a mentor?
  A: No. Mentoring and courses are separate. You can talk to a mentor before, during or after a course, or without taking one at all.
- Q: How often do mentoring sessions happen?
  A: On TEEI Mentorship, sessions are one to one on video, and you and your mentor agree how often to meet.
- Q: Does TEEI Mentorship cost anything?
  A: No. TEEI Mentorship is free for mentees.

### How You Earn Credentials with TEEI Language

Key takeaways:
- TEEI Language records completed one-to-one sessions and observed video attendance in the volunteer and learner portal.
- The certification page shows your current level, completed sessions, verified hours, progress, and issued credentials.
- Credentials are issued from session tiers and carry a verification code, issue date, title, level, and session count.
- Credential pages on the main TEEI site can be checked publicly, shared to LinkedIn, and used to download a badge or certificate.
- Verified-hours statements can be printed from the portal and checked through a public verification link.

FAQ:
- Q: Do teaching hours trigger a credential by themselves?
  A: The current TEEI Language credential ladder is based on completed-session tiers. Verified hours are recorded separately and appear in the hours statement and credential record when a credential is issued.
- Q: Where do I start?
  A: Sign up through [TEEI Language](https://language.theeducationalequalityinstitute.org/signup) and choose the volunteer path. After approved sessions are completed, the portal shows your certification progress.
- Q: What can someone verify?
  A: The public credential page checks the live credential registry. It shows status, recipient, title, programme, issue date, level, completed sessions, credential ID, and issuer when those fields exist.
- Q: Can I add the credential to LinkedIn?
  A: Yes. When a credential exists, the certification page and public verification page provide LinkedIn actions. They use the credential title, issue date, verification URL, and credential ID.

### How Learners Get Sentence Feedback in Practice Companion
URL: https://theeducationalequalityinstitute.org/blog/how-practice-companion-corrects-one-sentence-at-a-time-en/
Published: 2026-10-01
Engineering note on the TEEI Language writing room: one sentence, one piece of advice, and a correction checked against her words before it counts.

FAQ:
- Q: Is Practice Companion a chatbot?
  A: No. A learner writes a sentence and gets one piece of advice back, with at most one correction. A correction is marked in her sentence only when its quotation can be matched to her words. There is no persona, no name and no face. The companion exists for the days between her conversations with a volunteer, and every room has one way to a person.
- Q: Does it replace the volunteer?
  A: No. The conversation with a volunteer is the point of TEEI Language. She practises with the companion on the days in between, and a line she keeps in any room can travel with her into her next booked session, where it is the only thing the volunteer sees.
- Q: What does it store about a learner?
  A: Her written turns, correction records and their anchor status, the lines she chose to keep, her level readings and, in the speaking room, the transcript of what was said. The speaking room stores no audio. A Bedrock guardrail checks for personal details; a value it detects in her own spoken situation stays masked in every later request to the model. The other person in a situation never asks for her data.
- Q: Which AI models does it use?
  A: Anthropic's Claude models on Amazon Bedrock, inside TEEI's own AWS account, for the writing room and the level conversation, judged by a Bedrock guardrail before anything reaches her. ElevenLabs for the voices. The listening dialogues are written and reviewed by people and recorded once; nothing in that room is generated while she listens.
- Q: Does the level count as a certificate?
  A: No. The level calibrates how the companion speaks to her. It is never a requirement, a right or a certificate, and the companion never shows her a score, a percentage or a streak.

- 8,000+ learners have used the programme since 2022, supported by hundreds of volunteers and thousands of sessions.
