  4. Work Based Learning (WBL): Confindustria’s position • Confindustria contributes to the diffusion and development of “knowledge”. • The learning process is made up of several phases: work is a process of learning during which knowledge, skills and competencies are acquired through experience. • Formal, Non-formal and Informal training need the same recognition as learning outcomes. • In recognising non-formal and informal learning the aim is to make visible and to value the learning that has taken place in the “training enterprise”.

  5. CONTINUING VOCATIONAL TRAINING: Training enterprises as % of all enterprises Source: Confindustria’s elaboration on Eurostat data (2002)

  6. CONTINUING VOCATIONAL TRAINING: why doesn’t it work?Italian Enterprises System and Universities • Italian Enterprises System: 90% SMEs. • 24% “training enterprises”: 89% Large, 11% Small & Medium enterprises. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- • University programmes are still too academic. • Italian universities lack a suitable system for the recognition of learning outcomes acquired in non-formal and informal contexts (e.g. Credit Transfer System).

  7. Confindustria’s proposal to enhance the collaboration Enterprise – University on WBL approaches and methods • According to Confindustria’s point of view on the strategic role played by the Continuing Vocational Training in the Knowledge Society, universities, at present, must improve two of the tools provided by the Biagi Law (2003) Stage/Tirocinio High & Vocational Apprenticeship
