Vocational Education and Training (VET) has been identified as a crucial tool to be reinforced by European member States in order to face the socio-economic crises, in particular the massive unemployment, and more specifically the NEET (youth "Not in Education, Employment, or Training”) 4 /17

Tow owards a c a cap apaci city ap approach ch → not to let VET programs drifu away from the empowerment it can provide the workers : flexibility / job-market increasing responsibility & pressure on individual → Ref : Sen (1999) and Nussbaum (2000) → soci ocial m medi diated d nature of of skil ill : beyond individual attributes to consider the social, economic and cultural conditions that are required to realise capability. → Auton onom omy of of the t trainees : developing underlying capacity to be able to realise a number of difgerent outcomes → SSE se E self-m -managed g d grass-r -root i init itia iativ ives i integrate c capabilit itie ies appr pproach ch : SSE VET is now crucial to provide a positive and sustainable vision for the future for decent work/labour « Qualification shifuing from a package of skills and competences, to a negotiated array of occupational standards to be articulated according to individuals, empowering them in building their professional path in a given social and cultural environment. » 7 /17

Objectives & Methodology Interviews and desk research to explore → the possibility of integrating VET trainers' competences in existing training programs, focusing on the need to develop a competence profile for SSE in difgerent disciplines of VET studies. → to explore elements that will be introduced in a trainer competence profile adjusted to SSE requirement. → These data address important questions to be reflected in our project, while not necessarily capturing a representative view from all SSE and VET organisations from the participating countries. In this report « Mapping of trainers » competences and existing SSE training programs”, partners proceeded to an in depth survey, turning to the people most fitted to answer: the trainers. 8 /17
