From Work to Training. Case Study on the Design of a Training Standard

Abstract

The approach of training based on competence has gained popularity as an alternative to the behaviorist approach, based on objectives, and is much closer to the Taylorist conception of work. During the last decades, standards of professional activities have been designed using competencies. These are competence, training, and certification standards which highlight the relation between work and training and allow the personalization of training and the mobility of workers. This article is to describe a training standard. Due to the fact that this instrument is not yet used in Romania, we present a mini case study for the occupation of manufacturer-assembler of textile fabrics.
