Contribution
One way to implement work process oriented occupational profiles is shown by the project „RecyOccupation“ that has prepared the implementation of the core occupational profiles for the closed loop and waste economy in seven European countries. To achieve this, the work process oriented European core profile of an “ECO-Recycler” has to be adapted to country specific needs. In the majority of the partner countries this resulted in a transformation of the existing core occupational profile “ECO-Recycler” into the national vocational training plans and in its implementation (cf. European RecyOccupation Profile Project, 2005). As different implementation ways within in the partner countries will be underlined:
a) Introduction via central ministerial units.
b) Introduction via decentralized partners.
c) Introduction within the Dual System by improvement of existing occupations.
To date this young sector had nearly no qualification profiles in the majority of the European states and the employees of the recycling and production branch had been recruited from different other occupational groups such as e.g. mechanics, locksmiths, electricians etc. or they had been trained exclusively on-the-job. Thus a qualification deficit of the branch predominant in the countries could be overcome.
