Rationale

Text available in

Small and medium-sized enterprises of different line of businesses are a decisive economic and employment factor in many European countries. The SMEs are an essential source of innovation and lasting structure development while they are making a great contribution to the provision of jobs and training places. The underlying problem of the participant DPs is the need to strenghten the competitiveness of SMEs located predominantly in rural areas or outside the growth centres and also to find new ways to promote employment and to encourage the development and integration of human resources. This concerns, on the one hand, particularly the recruitement and the reintegration of discriminated people in the labour market, e.g. young and women or unemployed people. On the other hand, it's also relevant to promote the development of the competencies of managers and middle managers in order for them to better integrate and promote in their companies, for example, new forms of enterprise organisation, own organisation, opennes to employees participation in decision making processes.To DP all this means working for the enhancement of:- individual competencies of workers and managers- participation of workers in the development of company activities andchanging processes- networks of companies- information transmission and exchange of experiences between companies.

Enterprise level: skilling refers to the training of managers in SMEs to perform a variety of their tasks: strategic management, business management, leadership and operational management. Working group level: the participation of workers in the continuous development of their workplace is one of the main challenges at any workplace. Motivation refers to employees' sustainable commitment and performance in a work context. To benefit IT -performance in internal and external communication. Individual level: multi-skilled people, i.e. employees equipped with know-how of many tasks or diciplines, is the main resource of the SMEs. Lifelong learning is the only way to stay competitive. To summerize, the main pragmatic objectives are- to develop the network of productivity-oriented entrepreneurs and other promotors and associated actors- to try out a development strategy (OIVA) concisting various components- to see if a flexible company-based learning system that involves the systematic coaching of staff by consultants and supervisors at workplace, is working in SMEs- to encourage and accelerate on-the-job learning/training in the SMEs- to assimilate the practise in different enviroments, e.g. municipal organisation.
