ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates competences-based assessment of employability and offers an integrative framework to understand theoretically and operationally how employability is assessed from competences. Within this variety of interpretations and theorizations of employability, it can be difficult to identify how to assess employability. The dialectic and the articulation between the employment situation and potential situations are at the heart of the question of the transferability of competences. Drawing on the competence-based approach to employability, it presents a conceptual framework that integrates quality conventions of employability and different types of competences. The study of the assessment practices of employability is operated at the central interfaces of coordination between those that accompany and the reclassification cell and that between the cell and its monitoring committee. The projective convention of employability associated with potential competences appears as central and dominant in the reclassification process, even if other conventions appear in the process.
