In this Study "The eight key competencies for lifelong learning: An appropriate framework within which to develop the competence of trainers on the field of European youth work or just plain politics?" by Hendrik Otten and Yael Ohana (2009), the researchers focus on the link between essential and generic key competences trainers should have and the framework of the eight Key Competences.
This study is a sequel of the study by Hendrik Otten and Helmut Fennes on Quality in non-formal education and training in the field of European youth work of 2008.

In the main part of the study, the authors present possible objectives and advisable key
contents (in terms of knowledge, attitudes and skills) of an eventual training process in relation
to each of the eight key competences.
Subsequently, a concept for a training scheme is proposed that would serve to qualify
European level youth work trainers in accordance with the competence profile and the eight key
competences for lifelong learning. In order to translate the identified training and learning
objectives into a practical training and learning process, H. Otten and Y. Ohana call for a set of
basic and minimum framework conditions which are formulated in the conclusions.
