The main goal is to provide access to language learning resources that will help familiarize candidate immigrants with the terminology and cultural issues in their sectors through developing and disseminating language learning exercises. The pilot user communities addressed are (a) ICT teachers living in Estonia (and the Baltics, in general) who want to move and work in Finland, and (b) agricultural professionals living in Romania who want to move and work in Greece.

All European policies are still lacking a standardized common skills and competence model. Therefore eCOTOOL is developing the Europass CS eco‐tools that are a brand new solution that is not yet available in the whole of Europe nor in any of the LLP countries. The overall objective of eCOTOOL is to improve the development, exchange, and maintenance of VET certificates and their accessibility and transparency by harmonizing Europass with other European instruments (EQF, ECVET) and e‐competences. This will increase the European mobility and transparency of VET systems. The eCOTOOL project will provide advanced and sustainable instruments and tools for the Europass CS: First an application profile will be developed from the European instruments as an information model, which will become the European standard for certificate repositories based on the Europass CS specification. This information model will be delivered with a full XML binding to complete the Europass CS eco‐tools and to support and facilitate their dissemination to and application in all European countries. The CS eco‐tools will be tested and evaluated by applying them to the agricultural sector. This pilot testing will be conducted according to the findings and results of a needs analysis conducted in this sector. Finally, the CS eco‐tools will be disseminated throughout Europe and in particular submitted to the European Standardisation Bodies to launch an official European Norm (EN) initiative.

EC policy encourages the development of OA with the European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming, which is applied nationally through efforts to increase land area in OA. The European Council of Young Farmers found training to be a ‘very important instrument’ to adopting the European Model of agriculture. Many EU countries have OA training initiatives, but of unknown quality and effectiveness. The overall aim of CerOrganic is to develop and test a quality assurance procedure for the vocational education/training of agricultural advisors/trainers, based on the European Quality Assurance Reference Framework (EQARF). By incorporating existing OA trainings for young and / or unemployed agricultural experts into an innovative quality-certified training program and developing a quality certification system (for application to other OA training programs), CerOrganic aims to enhance the quality and attractiveness of all OA training systems.

EMRA will be launched immediately after the end of this project.
