NPCSkills - VET TRAINING COURSE

The specific objective of NPCSkills - Non-Profit Consultants' Skills is to improve the transversal skills of the various professional figures who offer consultancy to the European non-profit sector, with a view to innovation, multidisciplinarity, market recognition and the ability to guarantee a high standard of quality of the service offered, regardless of their area of specialization.

The European Third Sector is very diverse in terms of the professionals working in it, the skills required of them differ based on their respective areas of professional specialization, although there are some of a transversal nature that should characterize any professional figure offering consulting services in the nonprofit sector, in order to be qualified as an "expert in the Third Sector." Thus, the expected result is the definition of a professional training model, innovative and replicable, that allows the VET sector to approach the world of the Third Sector in order to fill this need for transversal skills.

The creation of an innovative Quality label that attests to the expertise and specialization of professionals in the nonprofit sector and is based on a set of efficiency and professionalization indicators, determined on a national and European basis and representative of the requirements that different professional figures must meet in order to be qualified as expert consultants to the Third Sector. 

Through a vocational training model for consultants in the Third Sector, based on information about the skills most in demand in the market, a tailor-made training offer will be determined, that facilitates the transfer, recognition, and accumulation of skills through teaching and helps increase the flexibility and attractiveness of VET vocational training.
