Resum
The teaching of basic employability competence from a very early age is of preventive value in the young people in residential care transition to adulthood. Research relates employability competence (finding and holding down a job and gaining promotion in the labour market) with positive career outcomes and employment opportunities. In this study, conceptual methods for understanding employability are analyzed and some existing international studies of employability skills are reviewed, although all of these
are deemed partial approaches to the needs of children and young people in residential care. Our proposal, the IARS Employability Competence Framework, developed by means of a collaborative and integrated approach with experts, provides a complete picture of how employability competences are important for preparing young people in residential care not only for active labour insertion but also in terms of their comprehensive development. A selection of a cluster of eight employability competences (self-organization, decision making and problem solving, teamwork, communication, perseverance, professional project development, flexibility and responsibility) and their components are presented, as well as its educational implications within children’s homes.
