The CUVID (Curriculum Video) project was initiated to tackle youth unemployment with an innovative application platform based on videos for young people to directly link them to potential employers. After completion of the project it is clear that CUVID went far beyond the project goals. The CUVID platform not only offers a new way of application management by emphasizing the impact of charisma and personality but it also hits the nail on its head regarding alternative ways of applications in the world of digitalization. The project team developed a state of the art tool that aims at combating social exclusion by offering a new approach of self-presentation.bit Schulungscenter P1 (AT) acting as coordinator was the initiator of the project idea. It has extensive experience in the field of educating young adults in employment measures and different VET professions. bit schulungscenter is also the driving institution in the progression of the CUVID platform after the project-end. Future Balloons P2 (PT) was our ICT Expert. In order to provide a user-friendly and multi-functional interactive web-platform we cooperated with an expert for platform and online teaching material development. It turned out that P2 (PT) suited best for our expectations to fulfil the tasks for CUVID. This SME brought in the right ICT skills. The university of Osijek, P3 (HR) (Scientific Expert) turned out to be a great partner choice as they are having a profound scientific background for project activities which was crucial to our high-quality standards. P3 (HR) was the Faculty of Economics (EFOS) of the University of Osijek and it is not only a scientific institution with an excellent reputation, but with special knowhow on special needs of young citizens and employability measures. Having vet schools (LBS Bad Gleichenberg - P4(AT) and OA Pisek-P5(CZ)) on board was also an extremely important fact when it came to the pilot tests with tutorials, video CV creation, and also platform testing. Furthermore the young vet students were trained as first users and multipliers of the CUVID products and platform and were disseminating the project results in their own national and transnational networks in and beyond the official CUVID dissemination and multiplier activities. 15 people were involved in the expert interviews carried out at the beginning of the project. 60 VET Students were participating in the Action Research Seminars, 20 from each AT, HR and CZ. The CUVID platform pilot testing counted 25 participants (young people, HR representatives). 30 VET teachers did not only take part in the pilot testing of the trainer manual but they act also as first ambassadors on the trainer level. International roadshows were implemented in the four partner countries and reached 430 people with direct contact. The CUVID project ended with an impressive 2-day final conference with more than 100 international students (AT, SI, HR) in Bad Gleichenberg.After a profound preparation phase the scientific basis for the project was built in IO1 via qualitative expert interviews. With the analysis of the conducted interviews the project team identified the requirements for a state of the art video platform. With the information gained in IO1 we involved our main target group into the project by conducting action research workshops in order to find out ideas of how young people would present themselves in applications. Based on these insights we developed multimedia tutorials which help young people even with no multimedia background to set up their own CV videos. In the next phase of the project (IO3) the platform itself was developed. Soon it turned out that the development and implementation of a completely new software tool will take more time than calculated. After several internal and external feedback rounds the platform was launched and ready for usage and open for potential job seekers and employers. In the last contextual phase (IO4) of the project the training manual for trainers was produced. This toolkit assists trainers and teachers when they are working with young vet students to create their own CV videos. The CUVID project brought up not only an innovative, ready-to-market application platform but it will serve as the number one alternative application tool for young vet students and beyond that for all job seekers in Europe.
