In November 2010, a consortium of European partners started working on “Labour Market in Touch: new non-routine skills via mobile game-based learning” Project, funded by Leonardo da Vinci Multilateral projects for Development of Innovation Program.

In 2020, almost three quarters of jobs will be in services, especially in business services (such as IT, insurance or consultancy). In the service sector, there is a clear tendency towards the broadening of the required skills portfolio linked to "non-routine" tasks. This reflects the growing demand from employers for transversal key competencies, such as problem solving, self-management and communication, more generally "non-routine skills".

To meet the current and future market changes, the enterprises and their staff have to cope with them. That is why our main goal is to provide place-bound and busy employees with more flexible pathways and an easier access to training offer. We will spread an innovative approach enabling new generations of workers from business services SMEs to develop their crucial non-routine skills via mobile Learning.
