Overview - project for transferring innovation

A project for transferring innovation:
Professional permeability
for individual careers in
geriatric and health care
Permeability in the context of
professional and academic
training in health care
The employment market in health and geriatric care is – as a part of the health and
social sector – one of the key employment
markets of the European Union.
How to give employees in the health care
sector long-term prospects and how to
guarantee mobility [between professions
and between countries] in this sector are
therefore very important questions.
On these grounds, it is important to develop the employees’ professional skills in the
context of lifelong learning.
Professional advancement should be facilitated more than at present, based on already acquired competencies: the skills that
are the result of vocational training and further education, of university studies and of
professional experience.
Based on examples from six European coun-
cational school can start their training in
health care after ten years of general education, whereas in other countries 12 years
of school education are necessary before
entering a degree course for health care
at university.
In the framework of PRO CARE CAREER the
qualification programs to achieve qualified
and executive levels where thus analysed for
comparison. Whether they enabled professional advancement from level 4 to 6 of the
EQF was in this context disregarded.
The result: A growing number of extra-occupational degree courses offer to health

tries, the LEONARDO DA VINCI project for
transferring innovations PRO CARE CAREER
shows which career prospects are possible
and which measures open, hinder or support the access to career advancement.
Besides, the project demonstrates how the
transnational mobility in this sector could be
further facilitated if – in addition to a general recognition of professional degrees – the
specific competencies in each national education were acknowledged and compensatory measures offered.
