CVTube
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The “CVTube – curriculum video” project aims at giving an answer to the urgent need to tackle youth unemployment. The goal is to develop an interactive online platform for young people to directly link them to potential employers. The CVTube 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 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. The CVTube project is focused on the development of a new tool meant to facilitate the matching of job demand and offer for students. The consortium involves 7 organisations from different fields that fulfil these requirements and complement one another.P1 (CZ) EuroProfis: The coordinator was the initiator of the project idea.
