FOSS4SMEs
The FOSS4SMEs project intent was to equip European SMEs with the skills and competences to properly use Free and Open Source Software, so to improve SMEs’ digital performances and competitiveness.
To reach its objective, the project developed a free online educational training for managers and staff of existing SMEs or start-ups, allowing them to profit from the opportunities offered by the digital era. The course is freely available to individual learners and can be used by public and private bodies when providing support, consultancy and training to businesses, which can organize training courses using the results of the project. The project also aims to facilitate recognition and transferability of competences, thus mobility, by applying the ECVET system to the professional profile of the FOSS Business User (FOSS-BU).
