Sector Structure

ESCO Portal

ISCO groups

Occupations

Skills

INCREAS has the task to describe the occupation and the related skills in the Cultural Heritage Sector. Our approach is to start with the business/ sector needs, which means we are going to ask the stakeholders representing the sector what occupations and skills are existing, needed or already lost. For this purpose, we created a survey and will organise several workshops to gather this information.

As next step, these results will be compared and analysed with the existing structure on ESCO and then discussed with the ESCO secretary to define options, procedures, and actions to include the missing elements in ESCO.

For a proper result we will coordinate these results not only with the EU commission, but also with FLIP 1 and 3 resp. with CHARTER. This will then be a comprehensive Cultural Heritage Sector on the ESCO portal, which will be later extended by CHARTER. For the future success of the portal, it seems to be important to take a closer look on the NACE structure and the CPA codes. Both elements are relevant to allocate organisations resp. products or services to the Cultural Heritage Sector which will ensure that the relevant statistical data will be available and in a proper structure for describing the Cultural Heritage Sector.

EU Skills Panorama

The Cedefop states related to their Skills Panorama:

“Sector is defined as a group of companies that have the same economic activity. Information provided on sectors within the Skills Panorama is structured on the basis of NACE rev. 2 classification. The information can be accessed on a broad sector level (such as Business services), or a more detailed sector level, where available in the classification (such as Financial and Insurance Activities).”

To show the Cultural Heritage Sector on that Panorama will be a challenge related to this statement because in the NACE structure there is no element called Cultural Heritage.

The Panorama shows information about employment structure and recent and expected future trends related to jobs and skills within the sector. This step will also have to consider that business and employment structure in the sector is only defined by employment due to a high number of one-person companies and partly precarious employment (more in the cultural part of the Sector, not in the Cultural Heritage Sector).

Links to related projects

FLIP 1

The sister project of INCREAS is focussed on the use of the finance and patent system in the CCI Sector and will ensure greater integration of the cultural and creative sectors into the European competence and qualifications framework.

CHARTER: will come soon

FLIP 3

The new sister project – starting in June 2021 – will have the main objective to organise activities in the areas of Financing, Learning, Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights for cultural and creative sectors. Additionally, the objective of the action is to work in a cross-sectoral manner between the different project components.

Creativunite

This portal was developed by the pilot project FLIP 1 as a reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic. It has one central purpose:

“We want to gather in one place all initiatives/ information related to the cultural and creative sectors in the EU in response to the COVID crisis”

You can explore the portal here.
