Making all Skills Visible: Tools and Methods for Assessing Transversal Skills

NVL recorded a podcast from the final conference of the project TRANSVAL-EU. During the conference, researchers and practitioners shared their work on the validation of non-formal competencies. What does it mean for the individuals’ employability to get their non-formal skills validated? Why is it important to train validation practitioners in how to assess non-formal competencies? 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.
