5. What about a skills council?
What is Pile Up about?
mobility of workers in the chemical industry in Europe
• a common European competence profile for Maintenance technician & Process Operator
• based on ECVET methodology• assessment and validation of worker’s competences• Pile Up competences to reach a higher qualification
Core partners (Steering group)
• ROC West-Brabant (project coordinator) NL• Kenteq Centre of Expertise NL• SBG für Umweltschutz und Chemieberufe DE• Belgian Maintenance Association (BEMAS) BE• Instytut Technologii (ITeE-PIB) PL• National Agency for VET (NAVET) BG• Wear Management CH
Associated partners/subcontractors
• Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung (BIB) DE• PMLF Centre of Expertise NL• Voka-KvKAW BE• Bulgarian Chamber of Chemical industry BG• Maintenance Education Consortium (MEC) NL• Czech Maintenance Society CZ• Dr. Kolb and other companies NL• University of Dresden DE
Why did we start Pile Up?
• Need for skilled workers (All round Operators & Maintenance Technicians) on EQF level 4
• Need to understand the levels and content of qualifications of foreign workers
• Necessity to upgrade skilled workers towards level 4 by assessing their skills and offering them flexible learning possibilities
The main aim of Pile Up
To develop and implement units of learning outcomes, (competence profiles) based on ECVET* methodology which can be used for:
1. The recognition and validation of competences of foreign workers
2. Piling up (accumulate) the competences of workers to reach a higher level of qualification
* ECVET: European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training
Project activities PILE UP
• Compare existing job profiles (all partners)
• Create a common job profiles for All-round Process Operator and Maintenance Technician:
– Learning outcomes: knowledge, skills and competences related to work tasks
– Units of LO; smaller components of qualifications that can be assessed, validated and recognised
Units of learning outcomes
ULO 1Performing operational logistics
ULO 2Perfoming physical
processes
ULO 3Performing chemical
processes
ULO 4Performing biological
processes
ULO 5Participating in quality assurance and customer orientation
ULO 6Participating in maintenance and repairs
Work tasks: Unit 2-1.1.1 Manual and automatic temperature control of liquids
Practical knowledge
Characterization of work activity
Theoretical Knowledge
Characterization of a work system
Work steps Skills/abilities Scientific context Technological contextThe operator analyzes the current work plan.
Reflection of the knowledge acquired. Planning the process
Explanation of the functioning of the heating (switch-on sequence) – manually und automatically
Operation of process thermostats
Heating and cooling of liquid media (boiling and melting point)
Operation of process thermostats
Implementation of instruction, thereby repeat filling and emptying
Unlock the ways of conveying and filling the reactors with the prescribed levels. Operating the process thermostats in the manual and automatic mode.
Basics of measurement and control engineering
Operating the system, thereby using the existing measurement and control technique and process control technique.
The operator documents all activities
Creating log according to specified matrix
Project activities PILE UP
• Compare common profiles to national qualifications
• Testing:– Theoretical feedback from industry (ESSC)
– In practice: assessments in companies
• Evaluation of test results
• Recommendations for the use of units of learning outcomes and the implementation of ECVET (ESSC)
• Implementation in practice by the sector
What about a European SSC?
Success of Pile Up depends on support and accessibility of the sector
European SSC could provide an organised structure to:•… get the necessary feedback from the sector•… to present projects or other initiatives to the sector•… reach the target group / end users of project results•… realize mutual trust between interested parties
Note: very important to include the right people!
Industry

2.Description learning outcomes (skills)
3.Assessment
4.Training
Training providers
How can these 2 worlds communicate better?
European SSC?!
