Appropriateness of the certification of labor competencies of the instructor: case of a training center in design, clothing and fashion teachers
This work studies the level of certification in sectoral standards of labor competence of the instructors of a training center in design, clothing and fashion. The contribution of these competencies to the training given in the programs that train personnel for the misión-related areas of the sector such as design, manufacturing and customer service is also studied. The value chain of the sector to which the training programs offered are associated was analyzed. Then, the competency standards required for the mission-related occupations of the design, clothing and fashion sector were identified and the level of certification of the instructors was diagnosed by means of a structured survey, applying the survey to the totality of the instructors that provide training for occupations of the misión-related areas of the sector. It was found that the majority of instructors had been certified in both sector-specific skills and skills associated with their work as educators, as an evidence of the interest of instructors to improve their technical skills in the professions as well as for their work as trainers. It was also identified that there is a high proportion of expired certifications and that some standards do not have certified instructors. Finally, a reflection is presented on how the certification of the competences of instructors can improve the appropriateness of the training provided.
