The organization of different roundtables allowed to cross the points of view of the VAE actors with those of professional companies and their human resources departments.
The central question discussed at the symposium focused on the nature of the evaluation performed by the juries of VAE and the possibility of bringing the methodologies developed in companies to increase the qualifications of the job and identify individual skills.
To what extent can we consider that the jury VAE confronting the repository of the diploma to the experience of the candidate makes an assessment of the qualification acquired by the exercise of the profession?
A conclusion was in any case imposed : juries members should receive mandatory training in the analysis of work and employment.
