A.R.G.O. Crediting Human Resources to Grant Employability

1. A.R.G.O. Crediting Human Resources to Grant Employability (Turin) Italy – 29th-30th September 2003 Simonetta Bettiol Scientific Coordinator – A.R.G.O. Project

2. A.R.G.O. - Forewords In vitro experience? Dissemination and interaction Collaboration relationship based on trust

3. A.R.G.O. – what is comparison definition testing • harmonization in the field of non-university secondary education • crediting for the admission to post-secondary education and training courses • valorization of the skills acquired also through non-formal paths method:

4. A.R.G.O. – how comparison definition testing European harmonization in non-university secondary education • the comparison between the state of the art of the systems in the partner countries • the definition of a standard of skills characterizing the professional figure dealt with in the project • the testing of the standard consistency inside the companies

5. A.R.G.O. – how comparison definition testing valorization of skills acquired also in non-formal paths- crediting for the admission to post-secondary education and training paths • the comparison between the crediting methods of each partner country • the definition of a model for cross-competences and the creation of a battery of tests • the testingof the model both on line and through education and training organizations • the creationof equivalence charts

6. A.R.G.O. – why Context factors why Ensuing needs Beneficiaries ……….

7. A.R.G.O. – why why Ensuing needs Beneficiaries ………. Context factors The project was devised: • to grant the beneficiaries the citizenship right and admittance to education and training paths • To support the system flexibility (to help the beneficiary get a tailored path and be the protagonist of his own training path)

8. A.R.G.O. – why Context factors why Beneficiaries ………. Ensuing needs • The need of reflecting the life long learning themes in a European dimension • Tools and methodologies to credit skills 

9. A.R.G.O. – why Context factors why Ensuing needs ………. Beneficiaries • The people involved in the project – they will find useful tools and evaluate the batteries of tests • The education and training operators • The companies belonging to the tourism sector

10. A.R.G.O. – why Context factors why Ensuing needs Beneficiaries ………. The political deciders

11. A.R.G.O. – points of strength ORIGI NALITY INNO VATION The points of strength of the A.R.G.O. project

12. A.R.G.O. – points of strength ORIGINALITY INNOVATION • ORIGINAL is the approach thanks to which : • the operators are motivated and helped (tools) to overcome possible prejudices • the “users” are informed and encouraged to valorize their skills • INNOVATIVE are: • the contents • the methods • the tools

13. A.R.G.O. - results RE SUL TS A standard of skills in a framework of reference permitting a comparison between the systems A shared model of crediting Tests and simulations To evaluate core-skills Equivalence charts

14. A.R.G.O. - impact A.R.G.O. The project impact will be measured along two dimensions: Substantial dimension Socio-cultural dimension

15. A.R.G.O. - impact • System actions • Interiorization and transfer actions Substantial dimension A.R.G.O. • A set of practices Socio-cultural dimension
