I'm working on a research project for the EU for the next several weeks, and I am seeking:

-- Individuals, especially those living in the EU, who have volunteered in any way, onsite or online, for charities or NGOs, and believe that, because of this experience, they have improved their inclusion in society or difference communities, had an interview for a paid job, been hired for a paid job (as an employee or a consultant), created an entire career, or become more employable in some way.

-- Organizations, especially those based in Europe, that have used volunteering, onsite or online, as a way to help their clients, volunteers or others gain skills that improve their employability (this does not have to be a primary mission of the organization).

-- Organizations, especially those based in Europe, that help train unemployed or under-employed people in computer and Internet-related skills in order to improve their employability.

-- Organizations that involve volunteers online, in whole or in part, and would be willing to be interviewed for this project, and would be willing to encourage their volunteers to be interviewed for this project as well.

-- Resources and research related to Internet-mediated volunteering (virtual volunteering) that is specific to a European country or Europe in general.

-- Resources related to telecommuting, virtual teams and remote management that is specific to a European country or Europe in general.

Why? Because I'm one of the researchers working on the ICT4EMPL Future Work project, which is exploring "pathways to employability mediated by ICTs - Information and Communications Technologies." My part of the project is about how virtual volunteering may help with employability and/or social inclusion. And I think contacting organizations and individuals per the above bullets will help me connect with such organizations.

Here is my blog that has complete information about what I'm doing regarding this project:

And here is the wiki I've started that provides even MORE detailed information about what is up:
