As a whole, the text shows, on one hand, a panorama of the current state of the competence-based training approach, and on the other hand, the way in which participating countries of the international seminar titled "Training Based on Labor Competence: Current Situation and Perspectives", carried out in May of 1996 in the city of Guanajuato, Mexico, have adapted that approach to their particular circumstances. The first part focuses in on the international context and establishes a frame within which each exposition plants its own experiences and perspectives from different countries, in relation to the recently mentioned concept. In the second section, diverse innovations are gathered, in terms of experiences and postures, whose common factor is the interest of workers to take up responsibilities in their own training. The third section is oriented toward the experiences of standardization, as well as the identification of basic and generic abilities of the work force. Dedicated to the topic of competence-based education, the fourth part undertakes certain experiences and attends to the cultural characteristics that enrich the approach and show the experimental field related with this type of training. The last section is dedicated to the topic of certification. It analyzes the diversity of postures in distinct experiences of States' participation in the recognition of labor competence, and it puts together a proposal for follow-up on certification, through a computerized system that allows for the administration of training efforts.
