摘要

This paper presents the ASSESS tool for continuous evaluation of competences and approaches to employment support. It contributes to the professionalization of the workers in training and professional insertion by raising awareness and by equipping a shared assessment tool and a method of key skills for employment. Its employment consist in 1) selection of key elements which are based on the information available in the ASSESS framework: job profile, type of competence, category of competence and competence name; 2) evaluation of competences based on two criteria: importance of the competence for the job and ability of the candidate to perform the competence; 3) recommendations based on the results of evaluation. The tool was tested in companies from 5 European countries. The tool is rather dynamic and it can be enriched with some work situations which demonstrate the continuous improvement of employability skills.
