The article deals with transfer in the dual Danish VET system. Transfer is defined as the process of applying knowledge and skills acquired in an educational situation to working life. The existence of many identical elements in both training and transfer situations is known as 'near transfer', and is most readily achieved when training is conducted within company premises. Students find the relevance of their theoretical training to in-company-based application highly motivating. Cognitively, transfer is facilitated by the concrete similarities between training and its application. However, the purpose of school-based education is to develop the students' mastery of 'far transfer', i.e., their ability to apply knowledge and skills to a broad range of situations. Therefore the pedagogy of VET should provide a progression from near to far transfer. The aim of this article is to describe and discuss some of the pedagogical challenges for VET of near and far transfer.

The purpose of the professional bachelor's degree is to qualify the students to act competently in a subsequent job situation. Anecdotal experience and research have shown that limited transfer between what is learned during the coursework and the subsequent professional practice. This article relates to actual development work, where a social worker education program is restructured and developed, with the aim of creating optimal transfer. The social worker must 'be able to co-operate, organize, coordinate, implement, evaluate and develop social efforts' in accordance with the curriculum. How does that look in practice? Based on interviews with newly-educated social workers, I have analyzed which competences the social worker (hereafter 'he') uses in practice, how these competences are developed, and how the student learns to apply the competences acquired in the educational program.

In spite of the expectations that exist regarding efforts to develop competence and in spite of the large amounts of resources devoted to it, there is a marked lack of empirically-based research on competence development in companies and other organizations. The purpose of this article is to present a review of research on strategies for competence development in organizations, their prerequisites and effects. More specifically, the following three questions will be addressed: (i) Why do organizations invest in competence development? (ii) What effects can realistically be achieved through competence development? (iii) What characterizes successful strategies for competence development in organizations? Before these questions are dealt with, different views of the meaning of the concepts of competence and competence development are presented and discussed.

The original set of Instructor Competencies was published in 1993 following extensive review and testing by a group of practitioners and academics in the training and instructional design filed. The publication identified the core competencies of instructors - those decisions, actions and behaviors that competent instructors must demonstrate to complete an instructional assignment successfully. The competencies define the generic instructor role, independent of settings and organizations. Competent instructors will accomplish these standards whether delivering simple instructions to a small group or addressing a huge audience.
