peer agreement (net): +1competencies Explanation: "Capacitação" has a closer relationship with ability, enabling (someone to do something). "Cursos de capacitação profissional" would aim at developing people qualified to do something, e.g. operating a specific (type of) machine. The examples you described have the flavor of COMPETENCIES (= knowledge + skills + attitudes). If all three will be actually achieved seems beyond the point here. |

skills, capabilities Explanation: Hi Laura. I can't answer your question for sure, but in the plural, I would find it the usage strange for training. I think skills or capabilities would fit nicely in your context. Funny you should <termos de compromissos> - it tripped me up the other day, with my Spanish bias. Didn't occur to me that <termo> could be <declaration> in Portuguese. hth msg |
