This communication introduces the objectives and the innovative approaches proposed in the frame of the Leonardo da Vinci pilot project SMECTRA: "Small and Medium Enterprises Counselling and TRAining network for the efficient application of new media". More specifically, it focuses on the evaluation of the status of vocational training and e-Learning in Small and Medium Enterprises emphasising that the technology and the content are not sufficient to implement successful e-Learning programmes, but specific tools, methods, competencies and specific training materials are required in a wider training frame. Consequently a structured questionnaire has been applied in the first stage of the project in order to identify the generalised needs profile. The specific results are presented in this paper. Such feedback is going to be used in the next stages of the project for the definition, developing and structuring the online couselling services as well as the training materials and the online handbook.
