What does it mean for the individuals’ employability to get their soft skills validated? Why is it important to train validation practitioners in how to assess non-formal competences? Why do we need to adjust the learning outcomes when we assess transversal skills?

Aljosja Yoshi Ziga on behalf of NVL was at the European Policy Conference in Stockholm and interviewed Fjóla María Lárusdóttir, R&D/NVL coordinator at The Education and Training Service Center in Iceland and Julia Walder, National Coordinator for the National Qualification Framework (NQF) in Austria.

Validation of transversal skills is in focus in the TRANSVAL-EU project, a European project, which studies the opportunities and the necessary conditions for the validation of transversal skills for all European citizens. The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

The TRANSVAL-EU project deals with the following types of transversal competences:

• Managing and organising activities
• Solving problems and reacting to the unforeseen
• Cooperating and fostering cooperation
• Using oral communication in one or several languages
• Resource Management
• Taking professional, social and cultural norms into account
• Using written communication in one or several languages
• Communicating using digital technologies
• Managing information and critical thinking
• Building one’s career path
• Developing one’s competences and profile
• Self-reflection
