EQF approach Sample Clauses

EQF approach. In the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), “competence” is described in terms of “the assumption of responsibility and autonomy”. Below is quoted how Xxxxxxxxx (2011) describes the process which takes to this decision “To develop proposals for a European Qualifications Framework (EQF) the Commission convened an Expert Group, which retained knowledge and skills in their typology but replaced competence with “personal and professional competence” (Markowitsch and Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx 2008, p. 37). Personal and professional competence was further subdivided into four categories: autonomy and responsibility; learning competence; communication and social competence; and professional and vocational competence. These sub-categories were evidence of further conceptual confusion. Autonomy and responsibility are normally seen as characteristics of a work situation, not an individual, although a person would need certain competences to be able to exercise responsibility and autonomy. Professional and vocational competence is usually used as an umbrella concept incorporating all the knowledge, skills and behaviours associated with an occupation. A conference in Budapest in February 2006 convened to validate the EQF proposals reiterated the central importance of competence, defined as “learning outcomes in context” (ibid., p. 38). In response, the Commission invited another expert group to redesign the descriptors and this group abandoned competence in favour of “learning outcomes” (ibid., p. 42), which was seen as wider in encompassing knowledge of a non-applied nature and in distinguishing three types of learning outcomes: knowledge; skills; and responsibility and autonomy, under which there was a move to subsume ”competence”. A further TWG was established in May 2006 with representatives of the member states, who rejected this problematic third dimension, replacing it with competence, but retaining in brackets “responsibility and autonomy” (ibid., p. 44).” Now in the last “EU COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION of 22 May 2017 on the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning10” a Glossary is provided including the following definitions: • ‘knowledge’ means the outcome of the assimilation of information through learning. Knowledge is the body of facts, principles, theories and practices that is related to a field of work or study. In the context of the EQF, knowledge is described as theoretical and/or factual; 10xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xx/en/publication-detail/-/p...

  • Approach All investments are to be made using the value approach by investing in companies at prices below their underlying long term values to protect capital from loss and earn income over time and provide operating income as needed. With regard to equities, no attempt is made to forecast the economy or the stock market. The manager will attempt to identify financially sound companies with good potential profitability which are selling at large discounts to their intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of low prices may consist of some or all of the following characteristics: low price earnings ratios, high dividend yields, significant discounts to book value, and free cash flow. Downside protection is obtained by seeking a margin of safety in terms of a sound financial position and a low price in relation to intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of financial integrity which are regularly monitored, include debt/equity ratios, financial leverage, asset turnover, profit margin, return on equity, and interest coverage. As a result of this bargain hunting approach, it is anticipated that purchases will be made when economic and issue-specific conditions are less than ideal and sentiment is uncertain or negative. Conversely, it is expected that gains will be realized when issue-specific factors are positive and sentiment is buoyant. The investment time horizon is one business cycle (approximately 3-5 years). As regards bonds, the approach is similar. No attempt is made to forecast the economy or interest rates. The manager will attempt to purchase attractively priced bonds offering yields better than Treasury bonds with maturities of 10 years or less that are of sound quality i.e. whose obligations are expected to be fully met as they come due. We do not regard rating services as being an unimpeachable source for assessing credit quality any more than we would regard a broker's recommendation on a stock as being necessarily correct. In any form of investment research and evaluation, there is no substitute for the reasoned judgement of the investment committee and its managers.

  • Project Approach € Project schedules and budgets are reviewed by the Project Manager on a weekly basis during our company-wide Project Managers Meeting using project status reports generated by our control software (Deltek Vision). Progress is compared to the schedule and budget to ensure adequate resources are available and that necessary coordination is occurring. Costs are reported real time, with actual labor based on time sheet entry and actual expense costs based on invoices. The reporting system can be customized to track specific tasks or efforts in multiple categories, making it flexible enough to adapt to any project specific requirements. We hold regular project coordination meetings to facilitate communication and information transfer among the design team. These meetings are held weekly and are supplemented with e-mail communication, as well as telephone conversations. We hold monthly project status meetings with your project manager to update project status, discuss priorities, and receive direction from City staff. This provides an opportunity for communication and information to flow openly between the City and the design team. These meetings are supplemented by communications that will occur via e-mail and telephone. We conduct meetings with other agencies and stakeholders impacted by the work as needed. E-mail and telephone communication work well for quick questions or minor issues, but we have found that the most effective means of communication with other agencies and stakeholders is the “old-fashioned” face- to-face mexxxxx. Xxbble’s record of providing quality civil engineering services to our clients reflects our ability to manage multiple projects effectively and efficiently. Our philosophy is that each project is personally overseen by one of our principal officers, thereby providing immediate attention to all project aspects (i.e. negotiations, communications, schedule, budgets).
