Competences between Labor Market and Higher Education through ESCO

Abstract

The article presents a way to create university programs that will ease the recognition of qualifications using ISCO and ESCO. A new European model based on the American model for engineers created by the American Association of Engineering Societies is presented. The model has the advantage of being based on internationally recognized standards. It can be applied to higher and professional education, learning outcomes need to be established with the employers based on the ESCO. competences. The proposed model is easy to apply and understandable creating also a hierarchy of skills according to ISCO taxonomy. As the applied models will be created, for example for technical/ economy domain, they will be further presented. The application of these models and the need to recognize the qualifications lead to the need for automatic systems for monitoring and recording all formal, informal or non-formal learning activities throughout an individual’s life and also his experience.
