Iconet Austria Training for the recognition of informal acquired competences January-April 09

12 participants of the vocational preparation course, Basisqualifizierung Chance B

Every Thuesday morning we met for 2 hours.

Each participant got an own map which included the training materials.

Frontpage of the training material To be able to say, what I am able to do To be able to say, what I have learned To recognise my special skills To recognise, what I´m especially interested in

Talking with one another, interviewing my collegues, getting to know about competences and how we can spot and express them – these are basic skills for the later performing of the Iconet-tool.

A way of presenting my favorite topics of conversation is cutting out pictures of magazines

Talking with one another brings people togehter...........

...........and strenghtens friendships .......... strenghtens friendships

....................and enables new relationships

A strange thing, which always happened was the crowding on one side, once right - once left

50 relevant competences are printed on cards

..........and have to be sorted into categories

Splitting the pile of cards in four categories: can, don´t know, can´t and competence

Each participant got a small boxe to store one´s cards........

............which has to be marked.

Instructions have to be explained very precisely and should be related to praxis

Without support by the staff, many exercises and work-steps would have been too difficult

Sorting out from th „I can“-pile my 5 favorite competences

Spoting my 5 favorite competences is hard work

Peer-interviews about TOP 5

Exchanging experiences regarding the best 5 competences

The TOP 5 competences have to be proofed during the peer-interviews

It is not always easy to keep the cards in the right order

Talking with one another is a challenge but brings pleasant situations

After having „proofen“ my top five competences, I mark them in a formular

Certification through Eva Skergeth-Lopic, the manager of the company

Agnes apparently proud

Benedict receives his Iconet-certification

The whole group apparently in a good mood......
