About CompTrain

  
   
  CompTrain is a project co-funded by the LEONARDO programme of the European Commission. Its endeavour is to define harmonised skills and competences description for multimedia jobs and jobs involving new technologies, based on market needs. Training curricula will be benchmarked against these needs and specific modules will be developed. Training Institutions that adapt these modules will receive a "Label of Excellence", endorsed by the multimedia industry through EMMAC - European Multimedia Associations Convention.

  Today, the lack of harmonised job desriptions and thus, clear definitions of skills and competences needed, reduce the market chances of both, professionals to find an adequate job as well as companies to find adequate staff.

CompTrain's endeavour is to analyse the status quo, define market needs and draft a catalogue of it. On-line tools such as a searchable database or a self-assessment tool will be installed and tested in a Trial Phase. CompTrain will not re-invent the wheel but is based on the findings of the NAME project. It will collaborate with European and regional initiatives, such as eSkills (CEN/ISSS).

Final results will be a harmonised approach of the three key players: Training Institutions, companies and professionals that corresponds to real market needs and expectations.

 

STEPS FORWARD:

Analyse market needs through questionnaires geared at companies (SMEs), training institutions, and professionals in the multimedia sector. Everybody interested is invited to register (free of charge) and thus, help shaping the results towards REAL NEEDS.
Development of on-line tools, such as a self-assessment tool for professionals to check if their skills correspond to the market needs; a job exchange platform for both, professionals/students looking for a job and companies, looking for skilled personnel; and the Showcase that displays Training Institutions with specific curricula for multimedia professions.
Workshops to be held in Hungary, Poland, Austria, with a final workshop at the end of the project.
Creation of an industry-endorsed label of excellence, awarded to training institutions with market-near training curricula.
