Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) are key assets to Europe’s economic future, providing millions of workers with access to technology, skills, and knowledge – often, however, missing a managed approach and appropriate tools for continuous learning and development.

This paper introduces a service-oriented platform – and associated building blocks – developed to implement an operational reference framework (“eMeMO”), tailored to learning and training needs of Blue Collar Workers in manufacturing environments, and built to increase their training and work performance directly at the workplace.

The experiences and results illustrated have been collected during the activities of the research project TELL ME [1], a EU-co-funded initiative held by industry, universities, research labs, technology firms and innovation companies from all over Europe.
