KA2: Sector Skills Alliances
Introduction
Every year the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) publishes Compendia of all
projects selected for funding under the annual Call for proposals of the Erasmus+ Programme. The
present publication is dedicated to the projects awarded in 2014 under the centralised actions of the
Key Actions 2: Sector Skills Alliances.
The Compendia are part of the Executive Agency's contribution to a better dissemination of information
about on-going projects and networking among project coordinators. In the Compendia you will find a
short description of each project, the contact details of the beneficiary and coordinating organisations
and a list of partners involved in the project.
Please note that the Compendia reflects the state of projects at the end of the selection stage, which
means that data such as duration, composition of the partnership or contact details may change during
the lifetime of the project. Please also note that project descriptions included in this Compendium are
provided by the applicants at the application stage. For further information you may use their web sites.
In order to complete the picture, below you will find a brief overview of the aims and objectives of the
KA2, Sector Skills Alliances sub-programme.

TITLE:
European ICT Sector Skills Alliance - VET open course for mobile apps creators
DESCRIPTION:
a) Reason for the Appskil project: AppSkil aims to form an ICT Sector Skills
Alliance focused on the mobile apps field that will: a) act as a collaboration
platform that will link VET providers, sector representatives, and VET
authorities, b) identify skills needs & mismatches, and c) develop and deliver an
appropriate training programme connected with qualification frameworks.
AppSkil faces the challenge to strengthen current and future ICT staff, working
or aspiring to work in the mobile apps field, with business & design skills to
improve sustainable employment results.
b) Main Appskil results/outputs: A validated VET programme and open access
learning resources on mobile apps creation skills in 6 EU languages - 1 »train the
trainer«, 5 on-site and online training seminars, 7 dissemination events, A
Memorandum of Understanding for mutual recognition and a Memorandum of
Cooperation for the establishment of an EU ICT Skills Council.
c) Expected benefits/impact: AppSkil will build a Sector Skills Alliance to match
workforce skills in mobile apps creation with labour market needs, improving
sustainable employment in the sector. It will develop a VET programme based
on the learning outcomes approach integrating NQFs and EQF levels, and to
promote mutual trust and mobility in ICT. ICT enterprises will be strengthened
to identify personnel with sector-specific skills and VET providers will benefit
through the availability of a sector-specific VET program ready to be recognised
in diverse EU member states. AppSkil will provide ICT professionals with mobile
apps creation skills required but missing from the market, enhancing personal
development and job performance improvement, facilitating mobility.

TITLE:
Skills in metal and electro industry
DESCRIPTION:
Never ending progress and development of manufacturing procedures demand
continuous and up-to-date training which needs to be a response to industry's
needs and has to enable the mobility of trainees and workers. Challenges of skill
gaps, raising employment and employability rate, quality and efficiency of
education and training and improving synergy between the worlds of education
and work as presented in Europe 2020 strategy, Education & training 2020
framework and Agenda for new skills and jobs need a collective effort of all EU
nations if we want an economy that will be able to compete on global market
and provide its workers with decent jobs.
The project will produce an overview of advanced manufacturing skill gaps in
electro and metal industry in project countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Latvia,
Slovakia),
respond
to
these
findings
by
creating
4
comparable/transferable/unified curricula (learning units based on learning
outcomes and learning materials) for 4 selected skill gaps, thoroughly test the
curricula in pilot trainings and start the formal accreditation process for
curricula's recognition in project countries VET systems. The created curricula
will be created in-line with ECVET concept and assessed with EQAVET indicators
to assure their quality and adoptability across EU. These results will be
communicated and disseminated to wider range of stakeholders (VET providers,
companies in and outside electro and metal industry and public) in and out
project countries to assure visibility and adoptability of project results.
The project will make an impact on VET providers of initial and continuous
training who will enhance their trainings/classes portfolio, on school trainees
and workers who will receive updated knowledge for skills which are missing in
electro and metal industry, on companies who will have more skilled workforce
and on the rest of industry and public who will recognize the added value of
such cooperation in curricula design and delivery.
