AppSkil faces the challenge to strengthen current and future ICT staff, working or aspiring to work in the mobile apps field, with business & design skills to improve sustainable employment results.B. MAIN APPSKIL RESULTS/OUTPUTS - A validated VET programme and open access learning resources on mobile apps creation skills in 6 EU languages- 1 “train the trainer”, 5 on-site and online training seminars, 7 dissemination events- A Memorandum of Understanding for mutual recognition and a Memorandum of Cooperation for the establishment of an EU ICT Skills CouncilC. EXPECTED BENEFITS/IMPACT AppSkil will build a Sector Skills Alliance to match workforce skills in mobile apps creation with labour market needs, improving sustainable employment in the sector. It will develop a VET programme based on the learning outcomes approach, ready to be integrated in NQFs and the EQF, and to promote mutual trust and mobility in ICT. ICT enterprises will be strengthened to identify personnel with sector-specific skills and VET providers will benefit through the availability of a sector-specific VET program ready to be recognised in diverse EU member states.
