The European Union is a big common market for business, but this economic area exclude common field for the work force, with at least 25 unlinked systems for Vocational Education and Professional Training. This is a barrier to the development of European-wide concurrent enterprising. There are different attempts to define national and transnational frameworks for mutual trust in Vocational Training and Life-Long Learning for professionals. The project Embedding Standards, supported by Leonardo Program, try to demonstrate how we can use these frameworks in real context of trans-national mobility of trainees and employees, benefiting the training institutions and enterprises. This paper is focused on IT Project Coordinator profile, role, and training.
