ABSTRACT
Reporting about Italian experiences of a new regional training system and of adult education and training, the chapter drafts the changes in teachers’ and trainers’ competences according to changes in work organisation and competences needed in jobs. The structural change in ‘professionalism’ that is happening almost everywhere in the world needs a radical change in the ‘professionalism’ of teachers and trainers if we believe that education and training should play an important role in social development generally, and in projects for adult people and minorities looking for a job in particular.
