    Open call for the development of a Competence Framework for the Knowledge Management Staff Training (KMST) or in shorter terms:
    for the NA staff training courses.

    The purpose of KMST is to support and co-organise the capacity of National Agencies in the field of youth to use strategically the Erasmus+: Youth in Action (E+: YiA) and the European Solidarity Corps programmes in reaching European and national youth policy objectives in a cohesive and consistent way.

    To do so and amongst other things, the KMST:

    – Offers initiatives for NAs staff to develop their competences (attitudes, knowledge, and skills) through trainings and other learning opportunities.
    – Responds to any emerging needs in the implementation of the programme, organises or adjusts training offers accordingly, and supports host NAs in preparing and implementing those offers.
    – Enhance a coherent, Europe-wide understanding and implementation of E+/ESC.
    – Supports knowledge management within the network of NAs.

    The purpose of such a framework will be to support the learning of NA staff from a role perspective (the role of NAs and of the staff of those NAs) and have a competence-based approach for the design of staff training courses currently offered and to be developed. In addition, such a framework could also support NA staff to evaluate their learning and competence-development process.
