Challenge

A sector association brings together many small businesses, none of which alone has the capacity to prepare and administer an EU training project. The “Human resources development in enterprises” measure required a clearly justified training need and a participant tracking system.

Project

Restoranų verslo konkurencingumo didinimas, diegiant profesinius someljė darbo standartus

Solution

ProBaltic Consulting prepared the application and project documentation under ESFA requirements: the training-need rationale, the participant and indicator structure, and the budget.

Results

  • €107,871 for a sector competence project;
  • Professional sommelier work standards introduced in the restaurant business;
  • Training for association members that individual businesses could not have funded alone.
