A partire dalle notazioni della Commissione delle Comunità Europee (2000), in cui si è definita la necessità di disegnare i percorsi formativi identificando gli obiettivi di apprendimento in termini di competenze implementabili e trasferibili da un ambito all’altro nella prospettiva di un percorso apprenditivo che si snoda lungo tutto l’arco della vita, il presente contributo mira a riflettere sulla formazione dei soggetti nello scenario di un’incessante metamorfosi socio-culturale che si riverbera nella costruzione del progetto personale e professionale.Per fronteggiare tali trasformazioni così cangianti sembra cruciale riflettere sul costrutto di occupabilità come urgenza formativa ed educativa per fronteggiare le sfide della società liquida. L’occupabilità costituisce un costrutto complesso e multidimensionale, in cui entrano in gioco variabili personali e situazionali, il cui intreccio gioca un ruolo cruciale nella realizzazione della propria identità professionale. In questo scenario socio-culturale così cangiante diventa necessario orientare lo sguardo pedagogico verso tale costrutto che si colloca al crocevia tra l’orientamento, la formazione e il lavoro e che implica il riconoscimento di quegli elementi che lo fondando e lo alimentano. L’eccessiva precarietà e la mancanza di flessibilità pongono sempre più enfasi sulle ripercussioni negative che la crisi ha avuto sul potenziale di occupabilità delle persone. Ciò implica l’ancoraggio a nuovi percorsi formativi e di orientamento insieme ad un ripensamento dei contesti di apprendimento al fine di acquisire ed esplorare le competenze che rendono i soggetti occupabili, ossia capaci di porsi e riproporsi nel mercato del lavoro con un progetto professionale aderente alla biografia individuale e alle richieste del contesto. In tal senso il costrutto di occupabilità va operazionalizzato attraverso il dispositivo dell’orientamento, al fine di riflettere sul bagaglio di competenze indispensabile che rendono un soggetto occupabile.

Abstract
Starting from the notions of the Commission of the European Communities (2000), which defined the need to design training pathways by identifying learning objectives in terms of competencies that can be implemented and transferable from one field to the next in the perspective of a learning path that unfolds throughout the lifetime, this contribution aims to reflect on the formation of subjects in the scenario of an unceasing socio-cultural metamorphosis that reverberates in the construction of the personal and professional project. It seems crucial to reflect on the employability construct as a formative and educational urgency to face the challenges of liquid society.Employability is a multidimensional construct in which personal and situational variables come into play, whose interplay plays a crucial role in the realization of their professional identity.It is necessary to orient the pedagogical look towards that construct that is at the crossroads between orientation, training and work, and which implies the recognition of those elements that found and nourish it. Excessive precariousness and lack of flexibility are increasingly emphasizing the negative repercussions that the crisis has had on the people’s employability. This implies anchoring to new training and guidance paths along with a rethinking of learning contexts in order to acquire and explore the skills that make the subjects workable, to construct a professional project adhering to individual biography and context requests. The employability construct must be operationalized through the orientation device, in order to reflect on the baggage of indispensable skills that make an employable subject. Equally crucial is the rethinking of orientation, an employability orientation that crosses all the epochs of education, in a lifelong and lifewide perspective. Thinking and deliberately choosing your future, designing and re-designing continuously, allows the individual to be occupied, is to put themselves into the labor market.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
