The SSHOC project aims to ensure that participants of the project develop their skills in the process by using the most up-to-date knowledge, the best experience, and various connections. To strengthen mutual benefits of acquiring knowledge and creating networks, a new database where trainers and experts can be listed and easily found and approached has been launched. This database called Trainers' Directory is a pool of qualified and experienced trainers in the fields of Social Sciences and Humanities that are enthusiastic to bring people that require training to the next level of their expertise in a specific domain.

 

What is the SSH Trainers' Directory?

 

The directory supports trainers in gaining visibility and promoting their offer of training activities, helps training activities and event organizers to find and approach qualified, and experienced speakers/trainers create a powerful network of professionals, facilitates the contribution of expert knowledge, and connects people worldwide.

Being a member of a Trainers' Directory allows experienced trainers in the fields of social sciences and humanities to be visible to a broad audience of professionals interested in training within the SSH domain.

The trainer directory has been established for anyone interested in finding trainers and their courses in the field of social sciences and humanities. These can for instance be event organizers, who would like to invite a trainer for a session. Based on the interests and training needs, a person can use the trainer directory to find trainers for a given purpose.  The profile picture (if uploaded) is openly available as is  the trainer's name, and domain of expertise. According to their needs, a person can filter the search options to create a list of possible trainers they can reach out based on the following criteria:

 
  • topics of expertise
  • target audience
  • spoken languages
  • domain
  • level of training
 

A trainer listed in the directory can be approached by registering on the SSHOC webpage. The registration is needed due to the privacy protection rules. The trainers’ personal information, email address, for example, is stored in a secure space, listed only for registered users.
