The main objective of ALL-ECOM project is to promote the acquisition and improvement of skills and competences needed for the adaptation to the changes and challenges of the digital economy.With this objective the project has been developed in three phases which cover the core activities of the project work plan: WP2 to WP6. The rest of working packages cover the transversal activities of the project: Management (WP1); Dissemination and Exploitation of results (WP7) Quality assurance (WP8) and Evaluation (WP9).All the activities foreseen have been implemented and the expected results have been achieved.1. Preparation- Research PhaseIn this initial phase the specific skills and competences necessary for the e-commerce have been detected through the development of the following research activities:WP2 Skill gaps analysis through desk research and quantitative/qualitative researchWP3 Analysis of training offer and innovative learning methodsThe results of these researches allowed the project to know from the key actor’s point of view the skills and competences that are needed regarding e-commerce.2. Implementation-Development PhaseThe results of the previous research phase have been the basis to develop the main project outputs. In this implementing phase occupational and training standards, programs, contents and tools considered appropriate to meet the training needs detected in the field of e-commerce have been developed.The working packages implemented in this phase have been:WP4 “Elaboration of a common map of qualifications”WP5 “Development of open educational resources and tools”.During 2016 and mid of 2017 the main activities programed in the WP4 have been carried out: -The exchange of methodologies-The staff mobility “Training on the design of qualifications using the learning outcomes approach” -Definition of new learning outcomes-LOs related to e-commerce -Elaboration of a Common Map of Qualifications In WP5 of this implementing phase:•The training courses developed in the previous stage have been transformed into open on-line courses MOOCs and hosted in the project e-learning platform accessible through the project website: http://www.allecom.org/index.php/en/training•It has been also developed an on-line tool for the self-assessment of competences on e-commerce. The tool incorporates 7 questionnaires that respond to the seven units of competence defined. Users can self-assess their level of knowledge, skills and competences on these matters. The tool is accessible through the project website: http://www.allecom.org/index.php/en/on-line-tool3. Testing phaseIn this phase the training courses and the on-line tool have been tested by project beneficiaries in all partners’ countries. The final aim of these testing activities has been to receive direct feedback and inputs about the project results in order to make improvements in these results based on their opinions, suggestions and proposals of direct beneficiaries. A total of 213 project beneficiaries have participated in the testing activities in the different partner´s countries. The expected project results achieved lay the groundwork for the accomplishment of foreseen long-term results (outcomes) in workers, employers and entrepreneurs of the commerce sector to upskill and to facilitate their adaptation to the requirements of the digital economy and also in national VET systems to give answer to these requirements.-More than 300 workers and employers have participated in the research phase.-111 workers and employers of the commerce sector have improved their skills and competences on e-commerce.-More than 11.550 stakeholders have been involved in project activities.-120 representatives of the target groups have participated in the working groups for the validation of project results.-3 national VET Systems have adopted project results to update their NQF and improve their Systems

“LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN - a shift into learning outcomes in the welding sector” was set to address an European sector-oriented qualification system for the Manufacturing & Engineering sector through the exchange among EU partners of a training curriculum for an intermediate level of qualification: the “European Welding Practitioner (EWP)”. Along the project, the curriculum has been re-designed and aligned with EQF, ECVET and work-based learning methodologies. The result of this re-designing process has led to the establishment of the “EWP Learning Outcomes Standards”, which enables skills development (through training), recognition and validation (through the scheme for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)). The developed European RPL model has revealed to facilitate the identification, assessment and validation of the individual’s expertise obtained in any European country, thus introducing the scheme among EU partners that are already providing the training but don´t have recognition and validation of the qualifications processes established.MAKE IT outputs were the following: •Introduction of the EWP training and qualification among new EU partners, including a “Pedagogical Kit” to support trainers with problem-based exercises, among other resources; •Design of a “European harmonised model for RPL in the Welding Sector”, through the clear definition of stages, tools and actors involved in the process, thus minimizing the subjectivity that can result from the operationalization of these processes in different countries;•Identification of common procedures and gaps regarding the EWP profile in the different EU countries; •Establishment of the “EWF Qualification Matrix” as the operational framework, boosting the recognition and transfer of credits by applying EQF and ECVET methodology and tools; •Enhancement of the trainers know-how in the field of welding by promoting the exchange of successful pedagogical methods and practices between VET teachers and trainers; •Implementation of national pilot sessions in the partner countries to test and validate the EWP LOs Standards, including the kit for trainers, as well as the RPL scheme and tools. These achievements were detailed in the “National Pilots Reports”. •Implementation of national roundtables sessions with partner organisations from each country, aiming at validating and deciding on the final adjustments to the be made in the results. The findings were described in the “National Roundtables Reports” and summarized into a “Common European Report.”•Development of marketing tools (e.g. project website, flyers, newsletters, press releases, video animation) and activities to promote the project and disseminate it’s results at national and European level;•Definition of an exploitation strategy and activities (e.g. Mainstream Steering Committee database, Final conference to guarantee the future use of the results. •Development of an EU Network to stimulate future cooperation and mobility in the field of education and work and promoting the project results as a best practice to other sectors. MAKE IT was underpinned by a strong strategic alliance and a successful partnership among stakeholders, aiming at bridging the gap between job offers and job seekers in the welding sector. The collaboration started between partner organizations, representing an umbrella organization, welding sectoral organizations/manufacturing industry, VET providers and regulatory bodies. The cooperation was then extended to more participants through the early implementation of the project activities (e.g. survey, national and European workshops, conferences, meetings, national pilot sessions).
