Formale Voraussetzungen für Trainer und Trainerinnen
Für mich ist das informelle Lernen in einem Unternehmen von großer Bedeutung. Die sogenannte "Kaffeeküche" ist ein guter Treffpunkt um sich in einer "lockeren" Umgebung zu unterhalten, auszutauschen und voneinander zu lernen. Es ist auch immer wieder zu hören, dass einige Unternehmen die Karriereleiter ihrer Mitarbeiter, Mitarbeiterinnen forcieren, indem sie Personen, die in ihrem Betrieb als Lehrlinge angefangen haben, auch eine hohe leitende Funktion ermöglichen. Die formale Ausbildung rückt somit in den Hintergrund. Interessant war für mich die Information von Verantwortlichen in Erwachsenenbildungseinrichtigungen, dass Trainer, Trainerinnen, die sich für ein von der Regierung beauftragtes Projekt engagieren wollen, grundsätzlich formale Grundbedingungen erfüllen müssen. Meiner Meinung nach ist aber (insbesondere in der beruflichen Weiterbildung) das Lernen von Personen mit Praxis und Erfahrungen wichtig.

Identification, validation and promotion of skills
In addition, they need to be able to take an approach focused on learning outcomes based of competencies, attitudes and concrete knowledge.
In Portugal, Qualifica Centers already allow an adult to identify, validate and certify what the adult has acquired through their professional experience. So, Qualifca Centers have a reference framework of key competencies that enables the assessment of the adult and identify what may be missing to obtain a certain level of qualification. What is missing must be acquired through training.
At the moment, Portugal is working on updating the reference framework of basic level competences, considering no only the new literacies but also the importance of soft skills, digital skills, entrepreneurship, leadership, etc.

employers
Has the big change in workplace culture been made evident to the employers? Perhaps, we should be starting to bring awareness of AE with the employers?
What could it be possible to read about the new workplace culture, any references?

Regarding the question what…
Regarding the question what goverments can do, I think it's important that they do something before people even lose their jobs. They (or the companies) should encourage peoples strengths and make further education, training and learning in general more attractive. So that people can benefit form their acquired qualifations in their jobs. And if they lose their jobs, better trained employees might find faster a new one.
