IndiCaM@ICT is a Leonardo da Vinci pilot project which aims to develop and test in the ICT sector an innovative online tool supporting the provision of individualised career management in the workplace, offering self-career-management opportunities to each individual through upgrading of skills and knowledge.

To this end, the tool will comprise functions of continuous employee assessment, and propositions for covering arising training needs (learning maps, learning objects), so that the employee responds to increasing work demands effectively.

The on-line tool will be an integrated environment to be used by employees, counsellors, the enterprise, and training providers. Use of the tool is envisaged to feed targeted vocational training initiatives.

The project specifically addresses people working in the ICT sector, who, due to the rapid technological change and the particular operational needs of New Economy enterprises, constantly face the need for mobility, adaptability, continuous upgrading of skills and re-training. Among them, special attention is paid to women, as issues of equal opportunities remain particularly relevant in the ICT sector.
