Abstract

The training profile of the graduate of different study levels represents a regulatory component of the National Curriculum. It describes the expectations expressed towards students at the end of primary education, compulsory education and pre-university education, by referring to the requirements expressed in the National Education Law, in other educational policy documents and in specialized studies, the purposes of education, the development characteristics of students. According to the ISE, the training profile of the 8th and 12th grade graduate is structured according to the development of the eight key competencies, as a structured set of knowledge, skills and attitudes, which ensure the personalization of learning and the solving of new problems.
 The occupational profile represents a synthetic description of the content of an occupation and the main requirements (of a mental, physical, educational nature, etc.) necessary for its exercise. The development of the occupational profile is based on the skills required at the respective workplace and the achievement criteria (with reference to the occupational standard).
 Can we train the employability skills of a graduate with intellectual disabilities integrated into mainstream education whose curricular approach has been adapted and customized to his needs? Does simple adaptation of knowledge favor the professional integration of graduates with intellectual disabilities?
 After completing their school years, young people with intellectual disabilities will need to be integrated professionally, provided they are supported and have access to the basic information needed to go through this process.
