Symposium: Occupational Core Profiles as European approach,paradigm shift or alternative to actual ECVET concepts? A critical

discussionECER Conference,

How can the sectoral EQF/NQFs safeguard a goodwork process orientation for a high quality in

VET?

How can the process of EQF/NQF implementation beused to improve the national VET systems?

Do we know enough about the benefit, output andperformance of and in our VET systems with theirtraditional grown national industrial cultures to be

able to compare it via a translating unit likeEQF/NQF?

Is the concept of vocational identity valued and

safeguarded?

The RecyOccupation-Projects Outcome:

Seven implementation strategies:

Within their implementation strategy the partners workedout the national acknowledgement. The country-specificframework and the specific level of training in the

countries was determined.

National Curriculumhandbooks as mainimplementation tool

Development of learning and teaching material:Compilation of seven manuals for trainers and teacherstaking into consideration country-specific generalconditions.

The RecyOccupation-Projects Outcome:

Suggestions for the application of ECTS to the

central ECO-Recycler core profilefor use in national structures and respecting the learnerorientation

A didactic framework that demonstrate asustainable development in the trainingpractices

European RecyOccupation Profile /The Project Partnership and its Implementation Teams:

9 Core Partners, 31 Advisory Board members,

33 Implementation Team Members


7/16

The role of the European Advisory Boardwithin theproject:

Consulting and evaluation of the projectapproach, progress and outcome.

Actively taking part in measurements onEuropean and national level.

Supports Preparation of national pilot phases.

Makes proposals concerning the adaptation ofthe core profile Eco-Recyclerto the nationalframework conditions.

Occupational Core Tasks ECO-Recycler1. Identification and sorting of waste materials for transport, storage and processing

2. Acceptance, transport, and storage of waste materials

3. Re-feeding of waste into the material closed loop

4. Legislation on waste and utilization of materials

5. Acquisition of additional business

6. Quality-oriented assignment of material fractions

7. Ensuring the safety of material throughput processes

8. Material flow specific procedures and disposal of hazardous waste

9. Disassembly of scrap products

10. Treatment of organic waste

11. Treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, used wood, plastic, paper, glass andbuilding waste

12. Treatment of residual waste

13. Hazardous inzidents and troublesshooting

14. Repair of plants and units and process optimisation

15. Erection, assembly and dismantling of plants for the company

Different VET system need differentimplementation strategies in each

country:

1. Implementation via central ministerialunits.

2. Implementation via decentralized

institutions.3. Implementation within the Dual System

by improvement of existing occupations.

Different VET system need differentimplementation strategies in each

country:

1. Implementation via central ministerial units.Example Slovenia (Greece)

2. Implementation via decentralized institutions.Example Lithuania (UK, Spain)

3. Implementation within the Dual System byimprovement of existing occupations.

Example Austria, Germany

Conclusions

1. Work process are the linkage element betweendifferent VET Systems

2. The ECO-Recycler example shows how a work

process oriented occupational core profile canbe implemented in different VET systems3. Implementation via ministerial units and within

the dual system had been effective and durable.

4. In Slovenia, Lithuania and in Greece the coreprofile could be fully integrated within thelegislative basis of the VET system.

Discussion

Does the approach of European core occupationalprofiles safeguards that transnational work and workprocess orientations are in the centre of interest?

How are European occupational core occupational

profiles implemented in different national structures?Which role should and could the social partners playwithin the process?

Are core occupational profiles an alternative to actualECVET approaches and the European QualificationFramework (EQF)?

Do the core profiles promoting flexibility, permeabilityand comparability?

Do they strengthen VET knowledge transfer betweenEuropean countries?
