European Union's Erasmus+ program has sponsored OMIMO

2024-10-01

We’re happy to share that OMIMO has been awarded support from the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme for a new project: OMIMOPM - Open Minimalist Modules for Project Management Skills.

With this funding, we’ll expand the OMIMO ecosystem with practical, open, and accessible resources that help low- and medium-skilled, work-aged adults strengthen the project skills they need in today’s job market, with specific attention to learners with visual impairments.

What we will build

Across the project (October 2024 – August 2026), the consortium will develop and test a set of outputs that work together:

• a scenario-based skill assessment tool that identifies individual project skill gaps and generates a personalised learning roadmap
• a micro-credential standardisation syllabus to support recognition of project skills
• modular courseware (for digital and hybrid delivery) that VET providers can adapt to learner needs
• a digital interactive project-skill simulator to practice skills through realistic, work-based scenarios
• adaptable self-study packages, built from a curated resource matrix + newly developed materials where gaps exist

Consortium partners

This project is delivered by a European partnership including:

• EMPII Group (Belgium)
• Sligo Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Ireland)
• Institute for Postgraduate Studies (Bulgaria)
• Wakaru Oy (Finland)
• Malta Society of the Blind (Malta)

Open, accessible, and reusable

As with the broader OMIMO initiative, the ambition is clear: keep outputs practical, lightweight, and easy to reuse, while meeting accessibility needs so more people can benefit from project skills development independently or via VET providers.
