What Is The Session About?

In today’s business environment of new work competencies being added frequently and high expectation of skills capability to perform, building up of Competency Dictionary for job roles has become important.

It encompasses functions, subfunctions, activities, and tasks, as well as the functional requirements of each task concerning data, people, things, reasoning, math, language, worker instructions, performance standards, and training content. This approach serves as the foundation for Job Task Analysis and Skills Inventorisation within the course.
