Iconet Austria

12 participants of the vocational preparation course, Basisqualifizierung Chance B

Every thuesday morning we met for 2 hours.

Each participant got an own map which included the training materials.

Frontpage of the training material

To be able to say, what I am able to do

To be able to say, what I have learned

To recognise my special skills

To recognise, what I´m especially interested in

Talking with one another, interviewing my collegues, getting to know about competences and how we can spot and express them – these are basic skills for the later performing of the iconet-tool.

A way of presenting my favorite topics of conversation is cutting out pictures of magazines

Talking with one another brings people togehter...........

.......... strenghtens friendships

....................and enables new relationships

A strange thing, which always happened was the crowding on one side, once right - once left

50 relevant competences are printed on cards

..........and have to be sorted into categories

Splitting the pile of cards in four categories: can, don´t know, can´t and competence

Each participant got a small boxe to store one´s cards........

............which has to be marked.

Instructions have to be explained very precisely and should be related to praxis

Without support by the staff, many exercises and work-steps would have been too difficult

Sorting out from th „I can“-pile my 5 favorite competences

Spoting my 5 favorite competences is hard work

Peer-interviews about TOP 5

Exchanging experiences concerning the best 5 competences

The TOP 5 competences have to be proofed during the peer-interviews

It is not always easy to keep the cards in the right order

Talking with one another is a challenge but brings pleasant situations

After having „proofen“ my top five competences, I mark them in a formular

Certification through Eva Skergeth-Lopic, the manager of the company

Agnes apparently proud

Benedict receives his Iconet-certification

The whole group apparently in a good mood......

The whole group apparently in a good mood...........
