R2.4. Needs Assessment Survey Template
The questionnaire template has been carefully designed to respond to the question ‘how vocational training can prevent and reverse the current skills shortages in the CCS in each consortium country’. The contents of the template were specified during the kick-off meeting in Athens and include information on both labour skill shortages and the tools that could be used to avert it (pedagogical, educational and ICT). The template adapted to the specificities of the six different subsectors:
a) Craft
b) Cultural Heritage
c) Visual arts
d) Literary arts
e) Performing arts
f) Audiovisual & Multimedia
The template consists of multiple choice and open-ended questions. It is designed in a way that creates the possibility to investigate the commonalities and differences in the perceptions on skills shortages per region, country, subsector and type of actor. For the six (6) questionnaires (one per subsector) in four (4) languages – Spanish, Italian, Greek, English – please, click here.
R2.5. Needs Assessment Report
The report quantifies the needs of the CCS labour market. It (cross)tabulates, interprets and discusses the needs assessment survey results. Its objectives are to clearly illustrate a) the labour market needs in the sector in general and in the three consortium countries/regions in particular and b) the target group’s training needs and pedagogical preferences. Its findings are annexed to the more comprehensive ‘Mapping the Competences of the Cultural and Creative Sectors’ Study (Deliverable R2.6.)

R2.6. Mapping the Competences of the Cultural and Creative Sectors
The study specifies the training and certification needs for the target group in the participating countries. It synthesises, analyses and compares the information provided by the three national reports (R2.1. to 2.3.) and the needs assessment analysis of the respective labour markets.
The study concludes with specific recommendations on linking learning outcomes with qualifications that match the labour market needs and which were used in the design of the curricula, certification and assessment, according to the ECVET requirements.
The study is structured as follows:
- overview of the Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) current trends and occupational standards;
- overview of the CCS occupational standards in Greece, Italy and Spain (based on national reports and the needs assessment survey);
- anticipated short and medium term changes (based on national reports and the needs assessment survey);
- definition of specific occupational standards per cultural and creative subsector;
- new trends and best practices in education and training for the CCS;
- how to link occupational standards with learning outcomes.
