The elderly and the disabled are the primary beneficiaries of home care. The QSMSAD project is addressed to home care providers. It is designed to compensate for the training deficiencies in this sector by developing vocational training programmes that focus on quality and safety.Firstly, needs will be analysed; the training instrument will include job profiles, profiles of training courses and of the content of these courses. Subsequently, tools for evaluating and managing the training process will be developed and a certificate awarded on completion. This new job profile in a rapidly expanding sector opens the way to widespread job creation because of the growing demand. The project boasts a wide range of partners from the training sector, the economic sector, the social partners, regional economic development, users, research and specialists in the new technologies. The driving force behind the network is local partnership; each of the players is a potential user.The results will be disseminated via an Internet site (EN, FR), in the form of a brochure (EL, EN, ES, FR, IT) and by creating a dissemination committee.
