Rationale of this project was the continuously growing skills shortage in the Multimedia sector in several European countries (e.g. Germany, Hungary, Switzerland), which specially affects the field of content development (e-game development/ e-learning content, Multimedia content development). This skills shortage could be overcome by employing practitioners from other European member states. However, this is hampered by the lack of transparency and comparability of qualifications for these professions at European level. Due to the great diversity of vocational training systems across Europe and the fast changing training requirements and needs of the Multimedia sector, it is often impossible for Multimedia companies intending to employ practitioners from other European countries, to determine the real professional competences and skills of potential employees from abroad. Currently, the vocational training for content developers varies exceedingly between EU member states in duration, content and complexity. Hence content developers across Europe show very different competence and skills profiles, although they often hold quite similar job or qualification titles.The main objectives of the project therefore were: 1. Analysing the current qualification profiles in the field of content development and describing them by learning outcomes. 2. Referring the determined qualification profiles to the EQF, to the national sectoral qualification frameworks and the qualification frameworks developed at European level by using approaches developed in the previous projects "CompTrain" and "Embedding standards". 3. Determine a comprehensive European qualification profile for content developers, and 4. based on this "ideal profile" develop reference material for entreprises and guidelines for training institutions so that they can adapt their training offers in the field of content development accordingly. The project EQF-Code will take up the problem of the shortage of skilled Multimedia professionals at European level. It will analyse the training standards in the field of content development in the participating European countries, provide national qualification descriptions (by learning outcomes) and will refer them to the EQF so that qualifications in the field of content development will become more transparent and comparable (refers to priority 3 of the current LdV Call). Thus, the employability of content development professionals will be improved across Europe and their professional mobility will be facilitated (refers to general objectives of the LLP). Furthermore, the project partners will provide suggestions for training modules in this field, advising VET institutions on the content and skills that should be trained for professions in the field of content development. This will improve the training quality in VET in this sector (refers to general programme objectives).Target groups addressed in the project in the short term and impact:Vocational training (VET) institutions providing training in the field of content development:Representatives of VET institutions will be involved at all stages of the project as members of the consortium and members of the Advisory Board, so that they will provide input and suggestions to the activities carried out in the course of the project. They will benefit of the recommendations on training modules handbook that will help them in tailoring their training measures according to the real market needs.Employers in the field of content development: Enterprises operating in the field of content development are already involved in the project partnership as well as employers' associations and will be involved in the course of the project as members of the advisory board in order to provide feedback on the results achieved. They will benefit from the reference material which will be developed in the course of the project and which will include national qualification profiles d...
