European Skills for Green IT JObs

March 26th, 2012. Euproma is coordinating partner of the European Consortium of the Green IT Node project, which started in November 2011 and is funded by the European Commission within the Leonardo da Vinci Programme under the umbrella of the Program for Lifelong Learning and the Swiss Government. The project represents an important cooperation between the EU and Switzerland in the field of vocational training, and involves 7 European organizations: SwissMedia (CH), Euproma GmbH & Co. KG, (DE), Maison de la Promotion Sociale (FR), European Multimedia Forum Ltd. (UK), Centro Italiano per l’Apprendimento Permanente (IT), Emmerce EEIG (SE), and ADJUGO SA, (BE).

The work team of the Grin-CH project will address the shortage of skilled professionals in the Green IT field, a shortage that is due to the very recent emergence of this professional field. It will analyze the market needs and define qualifications and profiles across Europe, and map them in accordance to the European Qualification Framework -EQF and e-Competences Framework- e-CF. The consortium will also develop guidelines for training organizations so that they can adapt their training offer to the market needs of the referred sector.

We specialise in advising institutions and organisations mainly in the field of education, further education and vocational training, but also in other sectors such as Multimedia and ICT.
