CUVID - Curriculum Video
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The “CUVID – Curriculum Video” project aims at giving an answer to the urgent need to tackle youth unemployment. The goal is to develop an interactive online CV and application platform based on videos for young people to directly link them to potential employers. The CUVID platform will enable young people to create videos for self-presentation that will be linked to their digitalized CVs. Young people are more likely to convince potential employers with their personality captured in a creative video rather than with written CVs, as they often cannot yet show a long impressive biography list. The platform will counteract this disadvantage by opening up a way of addressing employers in a more direct and individual way that emphasizes the impact of charisma and personality. This will raise young people’s chances of making an impression on the employer and will therefore increase their prospects of being hired. Furthermore, the CUVID outcomes aim at training VET teachers and students in ICT relevant skills to be able to produce, edit and publish videos online. The CUVID project is focused on the development of a new tool meant to facilitate the matching of job demand and offer for VET students. The consortium involves 5 organisations from different fields that complement one another.
