FUNES [FUrniture New European Skills 2020] has stemmed from a latent need that wood and furniture companies are enduring. In the last 10 years, there has been a vast myriad of changes related to globalization, new ways of working, new consumer habits, product customization, etc. The rationale of the project is to solve this need that current and future workers bereft of, which is covering those skills that they are in need of acquiring, in order to develop a work with a optimum level of quality and standards required by their companies, due to new scenarios. Consequently, the aims of the project are to determine the emerging skills demanded by companies in the furniture industry regarding new scenarios, as well as developing an e-learning training material that will be facilitated to the target in order to achieve these new skills. As regards the partnership, it is ambitiously composed by seven multidisciplinary participants that create altogether an initiative with synergy: AIDIMA (Spain) and COSMOB, (Italy) which are Technology Institutes specialized in the wood and furniture sector, specialization that also shares the Technology Institute ITD (Poland), focused on the wood sector; Vocational Education and Training Centres, such as CIP FP Catarroja (Spain) and CFPIMM (Portugal); Enaip Lombardia Foundation (Italy), an acknowledged training agency that delivers a wide variety of high quality training courses and services for the workforce; and InnovaWood (Belgium), which is an umbrella organisation that integrates four European networks in the Forest, Wood-based and Furniture industries into a more effective mechanism to support innovation in these sectors. Thereupon, these activities will be carried out: - European mapping of the current situation in the furniture industry; - Definition and development of future scenarios; - Compilation of those skills demanded by companies in the furniture sector in the new scenarios; - Development of a self-assessment skills system; - E-learning training course; - Pilot test; - Pilot testing results and improvements. These activities will lead to European analyses and studies about what concerns the wood and furniture skills in the future scenarios, as well as training course with its validated pilot test with target members. The methodology used will be through questionnaires for the research activities; an e-learning course hosted in a training Moodle platform for elaboration the training course and pilot testing. The impact envisaged is multiple. From the sectoral point of view, this project will facilitate the knowledge that will constitute those new competencies that the current and futures workers of the furniture sector need to have to face new challenges, in the same way to the furniture Vocational Education and Training. This project will provide information on the new needs of the market of work in the case of the furniture sector. The training material will allow workers to expand their knowledge, and with this information, FUNES is promoting PROFESIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPORTUNITIES, leading to establish future strategies or activities that will allow companies to undertake in order to face prospective scenarios.
