Un Modello Universitario di Job Placement innovativo: offerta formativa, tirocinio curriculare ed extracurriculare e mondo del lavoro. I nuovi orizzonti della Pedagogia del lavoro

Today, talking about competence means to shift the education focus from the traditional setting, based on learning inputs (i.e. kind of education acquired and learning experience duration), to the results of the learning process. The latter is not just a sum of component (like knowing, knowing how to do and knowing how to be), as it was in the past; instead it indicates “each person ability in the use of knowledge, abilities and personal, social and/or methodological attitudes for working, studying and personal and professional development”. For this reason, September the fifth 2006 a Recommendation Proposal of the European Parliament and the European Union Council has been launched to the member States for the institution of an European Qualification Framework (EQF). The purpose of the EQF is to represent an instru- ment both for the lifelong learning promotion and, which is even more important, for comparing the systems qualification levels of the Nations and of the sectional inter- national organizations. Indeed, these are needs that cannot be disregarder anymore, especially because of the improving difficulties the young workers meet nowadays for entering the working world. The needs for creating a place inside the Universities for making educational offer- ing, curricular and extra-curricular traineeship and job placement meeting themselves, comes from this discussion with the double purpose, on one hand, of giving a sort of passport of professional competencies to the students (as required by the EQF) that can be more easily spent on the personal and professional level and, in the other hand, of put the students in contact with the Labour market itself, to create synergies and opportunities to work.
