  3. 1.1Dutch education system

  5. 1.3Training modes • BOL (regular vocational training)Full Time School + several periods of practical training • BBL (employed)Part time school (1 day per week) + 4 days apprenticeship • Courses: special cutting techniques

  6. 2.1Skills part 1 According to Dutch Qualification File of Vocational Training Body (KOC): • Cutting hair- making appointments- receiving customers- analysing hair and headskin- in consultancy with client making treatment plan- treating hair and headskin- cutting • Styling hair- analysing hair and headskin- in consultancy with client making treatment plan- applying long hair techniques- blow-drying and styling- curling- waving- selling & advising products • Colouring and bleaching hair- analysing hair and headskin- in consultancy with client making treatment plan- bleaching and colouring- maintain client records

  7. 2.2Skills part 2 • According to DISCOhttp://www.skills-translator.net/index.php?query=hair&lang=0&sector=&id=21978&browse

  8. 2.3Skills part 3 Missing tasks/aspects: social competencies & creativity • Social component: intensive contact with customer (empathy) • Creativity: eye for fashion and esthetic aspect

  9. 3.Occupational content changes • Barbers are losing ground: increase of hairdressers (mixed ladies and men) • 58% of the hairdressers are increasingly self employed (in 1999: 48%) • Increase of part-time self employed working from home • More immigrants: different hair treatments (dreads, afrohair) • Enlargement of care products/activities with beautician and manicure treatments • Increase in use of computers for client records, payments etc.

  10. 4.Licensing procedures • none as hairdresser • self employed / entrepreneur: registry with Chamber of Commerce

  11. 5.1 Differentiation between barber & hairdresser or entrepreneur Demarcation of specialisations: manager, self employed, allrounder and junior • Running a business and supervising other hairdressers or assistants is not a task for all.To this occupation belong: - shopowner – with personnel,- shopowner – self employed,- allround hairdresser,- junior hairdresser. Mainly the first specialisation does train or supervise. • Related problem: where is the “general manager in hairdressing”?Similar to ISCO 1318 General managers in personal care, cleaning and related services. • Most functional skills are similar, except enterprising and managerial skills • Income and social status different for selfemployed/shopowner vs. employees

  12. 5.2 Differentiation between barber & hairdresser or entrepreneur • Barber/hairdresser: Skill specialisation may be different • Barber/hairdresser: Skill level is similar • If the number of occupations in the classification must be limited, then rather –manager/entrepreneur small business (less than 5 personnel),- self employed entrepreneur, - hairdresserA self employed hairdresser would score 50% ‘self employed entrepreneur’ + 50% ‘hairdresser’.

  13. 6. Difficulties with answering Questionnaire of “hairdresser” • Question: The frequency of performance of tasks (daily, weekly etc.) is difficult to use. Easier to use would be several times per day, week etc. • Question: “How important is competent performance of this task in this occupation? What is the focus of this question: establishing the key tasks? Or establishing tasks which may be performed incompetently?If the former is the focus then the phrasing of the question might be something like “Which of the tasks is the most important?”(What makes a hairdresser an excellent one?) • Question: How many subordinates do people working in this occupation, in general, formally supervise?What is meant here? If supervising then to how many subordinates? • Some answers were difficult to interpret- mental effort, level of knowledge, skill level
