Reference frame The European context
The priorities of the Copenaghen Process have
been reasserted and strengthened by Maastricht
Communiqué of 14 December 2004
? (open and flexible European qualifications
framework) based mainly on competences and
learning outcomes. It will improve permeability
within education and training systems, provide a
reference for the validation of informally
acquired competences and support the smooth and
effective functioning of the European, national
and sectoral labour markets
? More emphasis on the early identification of
skills and on the planning of VET provision .
Key partners, including the social partners, will
play a major role in this
? the increased relevance and quality of VET
through the systematic involvement of all key
partners in developments at national, regional
and local level, particularly regarding quality
assurance

• European normative references

• Proposal for a decision COM (2003) 796 def
  (Europass)
• Directive 2001/19/CE
• Directive 92/51/CEE of the Council of 18 June
  1992
• Decision of the European Council 85/368/CEE of
  16 July 1985

a pathway towards a European system for the
recognition of titles and qualifications with a
view to promoting TRANSPARENCY and peoples
MOBILITY

Reference frame The national context
The main normative references of a Country-system
still in course of definition

• Law 131/2003 (conformation to C.L. 3/2001)
• Law 30/2003 and legislative decree 276/2003 on
  occupation and labour market
• Law 53/2003 which delegates to the Government the
  definition of general rules on education and of
  essential levels of performances in VET
• Labour Ministry Decree 174/2001 concerning
  competence certification in the field of
  vocational training
• Several MIUR (Ministry of Education, University
  and Research) acts on specific training pathways
  such as IFTS, compulsory training, higher
  education, university education

Reference frame The regional context
The regional normative framework defining the
lifelong learning integrated system
systematically regulates education, vocational
training and labour and contemporaneously moves
toward their integration
in order to
guarantee the citizens right to lifelong
learning, to work and to professional development
for the continuous improvement of competences
in view of lifelong and lifewide learning
Regional law 26/07/02 n. 32
7
It finds in the system of competence
certification and credit recognition the
instrument to certify, define, classify and
recognize the competences acquired by the
individual
Executive regulation R.L. 32/02
It provides the definition of a competence
certification model for the recognition of
learning acquired through formal and non formal
training courses, as well as through informal
experiences
8
It gives operational guidelines to build a
regional competence system starting from the
characterization of professional standards
declined in terms of professional figures
Figures are described in terms of fundamental
activities and necessary competences and
constitute the reference for the different
systems of education, training and labour
Regional deliberation 347/2004
Starting from shared professional standards we
aim at building standards for the recognition and
certification of competences and standards
relating to training pathways directed towards
competence development
9
Priorities for the project development
SUPPORTING PERSONALIZATION OF TRAINING COURSES
through the introduction of a system of
competence standards directed towards producing a
high degree of diversification and flexibility
of training courses with the aim of answering
individual needs and developing individual
attitudes
10

• ASSISTING DIALOGUE AND INTEGRATION AMONG SYSTEMS

• The competence system facilitates the development
  of individual training courses through vocational
  training and education systems - both formal and
  non formal so as to allow the passing from one
  to the other (bridge) and to favour the meeting
  of supply and demand

11
ASSURING TRANSPARENCY TO CITIZENS AND ENTERPRISES

• The system development enhances the quality of
  employment services and the transparency of
  certifications, thus overcoming the current
  proliferation of profiles and qualifications and
  guaranteeing greater horizontal and vertical
  mobility

12
GIVING A CONTRIBUTION TO THE REALIZATON OF A
NATIONAL COMPETENCE SYSTEM, in particular
by promoting with the region of Piemonte an
inter-regional project which involves all regions
in the process for their valorisation and for the
definition of a common framework
by contributing to the identification of a common
pathway for all players at national level in
order to define suitable dialogue places, common
principles and work methods for building a
lifelong learning Country-system
by working at the realization of European
projects for the definition of instruments
agreed at European level in a framework to
facilitate the voluntary development of
competence based solutions at the European level

point of view
