The principal objective of the Lisbon strategy was to make Europe the most competitive and dynamic knowledge based economy in the world by 2010. Given the importance of the food industry in Europe, the main objective of this project is to enhance knowledge of the professionals sector across the EU by transfer a TNA methodology based on the competitive intelligence elements.The project aims to provide SMEs and its professionals the chance to assess and matching their training needs within their professional development sector and the knowledge about the resources of training available in Europe. The opportunity to access to such a methodology and tool, belongs to large companies with large human resources departments more than the small and medium companies. According to this, SMEs lose their value, as companies able to adapt faster to changes than large ones. Having the possibility to use a TNA methodology based on competitive intelligence elements allow to the SMEs professionals to be aware of the last resources on formal and informal training. So they can improve in their capability to be more competitive both in its sector and more specifically in its job. In short they can be on the same conditions than the professionals from large companies.To carry out this project we invited entities from both economics activities Lifelong Learning sector and Agrofood industry. It has been selected among the food industry a sample of SMEs and professionals that validated the methodology through a pilot test. The Partnership has been made up as follows: we get the commitment of business representative organizations as ANIA-FR which give support with its extensive experience in prospective studies, ROMALIMENTA-RO with a quite large number of memberships, and Chambers of Ireland-IE which also brings its experience detecting the training needs and resources available. Also the Partnership gathered training institutions such as BEST-AU with a large development in the field of Lifelong Learning, or ForSAS-IT which also brought the possibility to contact with enterprises (SMEs) and food industry professionals. Rioja Employment Service-ES transferred the results obtained in this project to a political level, as the entity responsible for issuing professional certificates. Rioja Marketing Club had the role of guiding and coordinating both the implementation of the TNA methodology and to input the competitive intelligence factor on it.
