Occupational profiles in guidance in Italy
Marina Rozera I 157-225 Foreword
Although vocational guidance services and requirement pro­
files for counsellors differ greatly among the 12 EC Member
States, they will likely have much in common when it comes
to future tasks for the Single European Market. Geographi­
cal and occupational mobility are obviously on the rise in
the direction of transnational movement. On the one hand,
an increasing number of young people and adults are inter­
ested in training, continuing training and work opportun­
ities in other EC countries; on the other hand, efforts to
even out structural differences between national training
and labour markets must be supported.
National vocational guidance services can only meet these
new demands if their counsellors have comparable "Europe-
related'· qualifications. These would include a detailed
knowledge of vocational guidance structures in the Member
States, of the most important tasks required of counsellors
and of the qualifications needed for the job. It is like­
wise important for them to be aware of the current situation
with reference to the points mentioned above and main trends
for the future.
For this reason CEDEFOP, with the help of national experts,
has had research projects carried out in each Member State
on job profiles in the area of vocational guidance. The
above-mentioned points were analyzed within these projects.
A meeting with all the national experts was held so that the
work fields and their respective tasks could be jointly
defined and made the obligatory basis of all the reports to
enable comparability of the national occupational profiles.
Moreover, three counselling profiles were worked out in
detail as examples to provide a point of departure for
taking the European dimension into curricular account. The VI
methodology currently being tested in the CEDEFOP project
"Inventory of Occupational Profiles" was used for this. In
keeping with the nature of the task, empirical surveys were
used in addition to an analysis of documents and literature.
The high quality of the 12 reports and the excellent and
cooperative teamwork has given CEDEFOP a suitable basis to
continue its work on two further projects:
1. A comparative general presentation of the findings of
the national studies focusing on a synopsis of detailed
counsellor job profiles. This will also serve as basic
information for exchange projects involving counsellors
from the Member States.
2. An evaluation for working out Europe-related continuing
training modules for national counsellors.
We believe that the publication of these reports will be an
important step toward establishing new forms of transnation­
al cooperation in the vocational guidance of young people
and adults in a Europe without frontiers.
