On friday 30 September 2011, the end results on the research “professional and competency profile” from the education Communication and Multimedia Design where published in a book. The workgroup, existing from members of the national platform INCMD where responsabel for the research. The book was handed out to members of the National Professional CMD during a meeting at the platform INCMD in Utrecht.

The renewed professional and competency profile includes the professional area of a CMD student and it’s specifik and generic competency’s. It is, short said, a framework document wich tells us how a CMD-education can profile and position itself within the wide Communication & Multimedia Design. The national profile describes a wide range of competency’s wich a graduate CMD student should know and do, a range that enough space offers for schools to distinguish and deepen.

The profile is also an importent document for the creative sector (business) industrie as a whole: for educations when the determine there own curriculum, for students when there making a substantiated study choice and for employers to get a clear view of the professionals they hire.
