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

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

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

4. European harmonization in non-university secondary education comparisonthe 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 comparison definition testing A.R.G.O. – how

5. -valorization of skills acquired also in non-formal paths - crediting for the admission to post-secondary education and training paths comparisonthe 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 testing of the model both on line and through education and training organizations comparison definition testing the creation of equivalence charts A.R.G.O. – how

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

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

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

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

12. INNOVATIVE are: the contents the methods the tools 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 ORIGINALITY INNOVATION A.R.G.O. – points of strength

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

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