Description

Description (EN):

To overcome difficulties related to the employment of knowledge workers in the Danube Region and the decrease of job security, the overall SoPI Project aims at connecting graduate students with recruiters who seek competent workers via e-communities. START-SoPI contained a feasibility study – market surveys, domain analysis, cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis – with the purpose of checking the feasibility of a Social Platform for Supporting Lifelong Learning and Employability at the European level, in general and in the Danube Region in particular. The START project was helpful in showing that by putting the platform concept into practice, added value for the Danube Region was generated: the knowledge level of the Danube Region countries and the employability level of the university graduates would increase, the organisations would be provided with the needed skilled workers, and competitiveness would rise by strengthening the collaboration between universities and organisations.

Expected Results (EN):

Expected benefits (if the feasability analysis of implementing the free easy-to-use learning platform based on virtual communities is positive): • diminishing the shortage of skilled workers and the high unemployment of unskilled workers in the Region; • increasing the degree of employability of university graduates; • emphasizing the collaboration university-private sector within the Region. Even if the feasability analysis turns to be negative, the advantage is that we saved time and money and found potential research collaborators for other strategic projects in the Region. Main outputs: • 2 submitted research papers • 2 surveys (1 literature-based, 1 questionnaire-based) • 4 reports
