Ever wondered how to measure your learners' soft skills? Or how to demonstrate that those skills learned during a course or in an informal way are actually important for the job you’re applying for?
Professional life and career development are increasingly determined by continuous learning which helps to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. In the service sector, personal and social skills are essential, thus becoming competitive factors at job/career level.
The European project VITA (Validation of personal and social competences relevant in the service economy) is looking at a way of measuring these soft skills or “competences”.
Pilot projects have been running in 9 European countries, including one taking place in South hill men's shed in Ireland. The aim of the project is to measure and document improvements in competences that aren’t usually measured but that are fundamental for the labour market such as problem solving, team working, entrepreneurial skills etc.
The results of the pilots, along with a training session on how to measure social personal and organisational competences will be presented at a conference in All Hallows College, Dublin on Wednesday 9th October 2013 .
