Occupational Profile and Competence Standards for the Creative Enterprise Mentor in Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs)
This document is based on four months of collection of data primarily via conduction of 36 qualitative interviews in six European countries in the spring of 2019. It gives an overview of the perspectives of a range of creatives who engage in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), underlining their collective perception.
European Curriculum Framework
In this document we consolidate the results of a complex process. The Occupational Profile and competence matrix produced in IO1 has been the starting point for a journey of dialogue between
partners, practitioners and expert advisers in each of the partner countries. The resulting framework was then live-tested by Creative Enterprise Mentors from each partner country.
