Objective This project is based upon the recognition that there is an increase in the number of graduates seeking employment in a changing working world and that there is a significant role that SMEs have to play in contributing to both the national and European economy. Graduates offer a wide range of competences and there is a need for employers in SMEs to recognise and make use of such skills.The partners intend to research the interface between graduation and employment, to provide information and training packs appropriate to the situation. These packs developed through transnational seminars and workshops will not only provide general information ("Hiring the Right Graduate", "Employment within SMEs") but will also address these issues with special reference to the hospitality business as an example for modification to other sectors. The team will test the validity of these materials across the European Union in order to enhance mobility and employability of the "European graduate".ImpactThe outputs of this project will provide awareness and understanding of what graduate skills and competences are most appropriate to SME needs. Practical recruitment information for SMEs will also be provided.Contract number : UK/96/2/0294/PI/II.1.1.c/FPCDomaine : Continuing vocational trainingContents : New job profiles Regional development Training in SMEsProducts : Methodologies for forecasting training needs Group training with tutor Audio cassette Public : Managers/ Owners of SMES Young graduates Trainers, designers & managers of training programmes Programme(s) ET-LEONARDO DA VINCI 1 - Action programme for the implementation of a European Community vocational training policy Leonardo da Vinci, 1995-1999 Topic(s) II.1.1.c - Transfer of technological innovation in the context of cooperation between undertakings and universities Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator EDUCATIONAL LIAISON CENTRE - UNIVERSITY OF SURREY EU contribution No data Address GU2 5XH Guildford, Surrey United Kingdom See on map Total cost No data Participants (13) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all AKADEMIE FÜR WEITERBILDUNG Germany EU contribution No data Address AN DER NORDWALLE 21 27749 Delmenhorst See on map Total cost No data CITY OF LIMERICK VOCATIONAL EDUCATION COMMITEE Ireland EU contribution No data Address SEXTON STREET Limerick See on map Total cost No data COOPERATIVE EDUCATION AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT, UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK Ireland EU contribution No data Address UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK Limerick See on map Total cost No data COUNTY FO LIMERICK VOCATIONAL EDUCATION COMMITEE Ireland EU contribution No data Address 58 O'CONNELL STREET Limerick See on map Total cost No data LAHTI RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE, UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI Finland EU contribution No data Address 00014 Helsinki See on map Total cost No data NET-WORK EURO TRAINING LTD Ireland EU contribution No data Address TAIT BUSINESS CENTRE, DOMINIC ST Limerick See on map Total cost No data NORTH CORK ENTERPRISE BOARD Ireland EU contribution No data Address 26 BANK PLACE Mallow See on map Total cost No data OLDENBURG UNIVERSITY Germany EU contribution No data Address AMMERLÄNDER HEERSTRASSE 114-118 26111 Oldenburg See on map Total cost No data SURREY CAREERS RESSOURCE CENTRE United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address SUTTON HOUSE, WEYSIDE PARK, CATTERSHALL LANE Surrey GU7 Godalming See on map Total cost No data SURREY TRAINING AND ENTERPRISE COUNCIL United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address TECHNOLOGY HOUSE, 48-54 GOLDSWORTH ROAD Surrey GU7 Woking See on map Total cost No data TIPPERARY LAKESIDE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY Ireland EU contribution No data Address THE OLD CHURCH BORRISOKANE See on map Total cost No data VUC, KOEGE BUGT Denmark EU contribution No data Address HVIDOVRE ENGHAVEVEJ 2 Hvidovre See on map Total cost No data WHITBREAD PLC United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address CHISWELL STREET EC1Y 4SD London See on map Total cost No data
