Transversal skills and training emerging 

The presentation of the cross-national study "Trades of the Internet and employment opportunities" was the opportunity to meet a delegation of European representatives of the International Observatory of Trades Internet. For the first publication of this study, besides the fact that it came in the merry month of Europe, has indeed striven to define job profiles for emerging professions on all countries of our continent. 700,000 jobs related to the web and will be contested in Europe in the coming years. Data confirmed a national survey by the Manpower Needs and 2012 job center in which we learn that new technologies are, for 58% of French companies, one of the areas where the need to strengthen skills are most important.

Training for jobs in web does agree, however, that few places to cross-cutting skills: adaptation to customer needs, accuracy and attention to detail, understanding of business strategy, the ability to relations interpersonal and taste of teamwork ....  

Interpersonal skills have its place in its businesses, but prejudices die hard: we give little importance to a candidate with an initial training as a nurse, or engineer, when nothing no evidence that it is competent months.
