EUROPEAN E-SKILLS AND CAREER PORTAL
Feasibility study
|
|
|
|
P.A.U. Education, in collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute, will conduct a comprehensive
study for a European e-skills and career portal, including the development of a detailed business and
sustainability plan and the creation of a prototype website. The project will end in May 2007. |
|
|
|
|
The portal’s main objectives will be:
- To foster e-skills and attractive career paths with a view to reducing skills shortages and
mismatches in the EU;
- To bring added value and foster synergy between relevant existing portals and initiatives,
and to strengthen the process of cooperation for e-skills definitions and standards in the EU;
- To promote e-skills and job roles definitions and standards through
multi-stakeholder partnerships;
- To help individuals to acquire new e-skills by mapping ICT
training, qualifications and certifications in relation to job
roles;
- To provide a cooperation platform for industry and
education/training organisations to improve human capital management and training programmes.
In order to achieve all of these objectives, the feasibility study will undertake:
|
|
|
|
A stakeholder expectations survey |
|
|
This will be the first phase of the project. It will include thorough desk research, followed by a largeInternet survey and telephone interviews with the key e-skills and career stakeholders (industry, ICT-associations, trade unions, governments, local and regional administrations, among others).
The survey results will lead to the identification of stakeholder needs and expectations which will feed into
the development of the pilot ICT skills and career portal. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
A pilot portal website: www.eskillseurope.eu |
|
|
The findings of the survey conducted will result in a pilot portal, which will establish meaningful ways of
bringing added value to individuals, employees, employers and other stakeholders across Europe. The
services offered on the portal will reflect a constant process of exchange and dissemination of links,
resources, documents, best practices, news, standards, joint tasks, user opinions, jobs, grants, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A business and sustainability planning |
|
|
Once all the features of the portal are defined, an economic and sustainability plan will be developed. The
business planning will investigate different scenarios for financing and sustaining the portal. The feasibility
of the different scenarios will be assessed and discussed with relevant stakeholders in order to recommend
the most likely sustainability model for the European ICT skills and career portal.
