competency mapping is one of the least discussed topic of human resources even though it has its own importance and value in each sector. so here I discussed what exactly competency mapping is and few other aspects of it.
Competency models identify the skills, knowledge, behaviors, and attributes that distinguish excellent performance. There are different types of competency models such as organizational, HR systems, team, and individualistic approaches. Critical incident analysis and repertory grid analysis are techniques used to map competencies. Critical incident analysis involves analyzing specific incidents that highlighted exemplary behaviors, while repertory grid analysis identifies attributes and establishes bipolar scales to differentiate characteristics. The right competency model for an organization depends on analyzing data on employee competencies and results.
This document discusses competency mapping for a sales manager role and research and development staff role. It defines competency and lists different types of competencies. It outlines the steps in competency mapping including identifying roles, collecting data through interviews, identifying skills and proficiency levels, and mapping competencies.

As an Agile professional I’ve been asking myself for years: what can I offer to my organisation as an Agile Coach? What can I give to the agile community as an Agile practitioner? What competencies do I need to develop in my organisation to successfully implement Agile? How can I become a better agile professional and help others to do so?
Coaches, teams, organisations and Agile communities have a duty to actively contribute to the growth of agile practitioners. For that, it’s essential to understand what key competencies have to be developed in Agile coaches, Scrum masters and Agile Managers among other Agile professionals to reach their next level.

Spayd, describe in their whitepaper “Developing Great Agile Coaches” (http://www.agilecoachinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Agile-Coaching-Competencies-whitepaper-part-one.pdf) The Agile Coach Competency Framework. This is one big clue to answer these questions. Over the past two years, this framework has guided the development of hundreds of agile coaches. Agile managers and champions also use it to obtain “truth in advertising” to hire the right coach at the right time.
This competency framework consists of eight primary areas of competence that provide a focus for education and professional development for Agile professionals. This areas are:
Agile-Lean Practitioner: Knowledge & Application
‘Process-focused’ competencies: Coaching & Facilitating
‘Content-focused’ competencies: Teaching & Mentoring
Domain Mastery (Technical Mastery, Business Mastery and Transformational Mastery)

Executive interviews for workforce development professionalsColleen LaRose
Workforce development has not yet fully embraced the power of executive interviews. By organizing interviews with local CEO's, workforce investment boards could coordinate information that local colleges, economic develop;ment and their own business representatives are collecting by using a shared database and all asking the same questions so that logical comparisons can be made and follow-up with the employer can be planned in a logical way.
This document discusses student views and needs regarding skill development training. It notes that awareness of skill development concepts and the National Skill Development Corporation is limited among students and employers. It also outlines some of the key factors students look for in training programs, such as credibility, social acceptance, relevance to jobs, and reasonable costs. The document recommends that training providers focus on portable basic skills, job-specific skills, and last-mile skilling to better meet student needs and match them to employment opportunities.
Vocationalisation of secondary education and career developmentUttam Sharma
The document discusses the philosophy and need for vocational education at the secondary level in India. It outlines key recommendations from the Kothari Commission in the 1960s that vocational and general education should be blended. The National Policy on Vocational Education was launched in 1988 to introduce vocational training in 10,000 secondary schools. However, vocational education failed to succeed in India due to issues like a lack of trained teachers, insufficient funding, and poor industry linkages.
This report investigates student awareness, interests and aspirations around general and vocational education. Using a survey administered to students from class 10 to undergraduate students in four town of four district of Odisha (Khurdha-Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Bhadrak and Jajpur), we attempt to gain a better understanding of student aspirations, awareness levels, sources of information, key stakeholders and factors that influence their education and career choices. We then map student interests against sectors that are slated to experience the highest growth in terms of job creation. Our results indicate aspirations of students are largely misaligned with the needs of the Indian economy. It is important to create opportunities, generate awareness about various career options and the respective pathways available to realize career goals. The report outlines the key strategic options that can be considered to bolster the country’s response towards creating a skill development system that is responsive both to the aspirations of the youth and needs of industry.
Industry competency models promote an understanding of the skill sets and competencies that are essential to educate and train a globally competitive workforce.
The Competency Model Clearinghouse is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and provides validated industry competency models and tools to build a custom model and career ladder/lattice for your industry. Information about it can be found at: http://www.careeronestop.org/competencymodel/
Sadly, this is not well marketed, and few workforce professionals seem to know that it even exists!
This session on the Competency Model Clearinghouse will provide an overview of the Clearinghouse and the use of its 22 industry models for Career Pathways and Sector Strategies initiatives. It will show how to use the models to define regional skill requirements, provide career guidance and exploration, support area businesses’ human resource functions, frame certification requirements, and to develop industry-driven curricula.

Abstract
Youth age group (15-24) is a great asset to a nation, because youth being a working age population if properly trained and prepared for world of work could bring revolution in the economy of a country. Therefore, developed countries give greater emphasis to youth’s training and education to prepare youth for world of work. In develop countries, to prepare youth, especially school leaver’s vocational training schemes were introduced at secondary and high school level. However, in developed countries the ratio of edging population is increasing as compared to the youth working age population, whereas in developing countries including Pakistan the youth population is rapidly increasing. There is a need that we take advantage of this demographic dividend and prepare our youth for world of work. This paper highlights the importance of vocationalization in youth employment. In the paper youth’s employment trend and its relation with education and training were discussed. In the country, causes for failure of past efforts made for vocationalization of general education were examined. Worldwide available different modes for vocational training and effective models were analyzed and suitable model for vocationalization of general education in the country is proposed in this paper.

- Four key questions should be considered when developing statements: 1) Will the meaning be clear? 2) Are assumptions being made? 3) Is the concept being measured? 4) Can the data be interpreted accurately?

Competency Frameworks
• 'Competence' in its Chambers' Dictionary definition is the 'ability to do something successfully
or efficiently. Employers set out a definition of competence for most roles within a company to
enable staff and employers to both understand what it means to be competent in any given
role. In order for a company to define competence, a competency framework is written.
• Defining competence is what a competency framework is set up to do. If an employee is
competent at his job then s/he will be able to identify him/herself within the framework. As
such these are tools by which a company can identify an employee’s level of competence.
• Competencies and competence are a measure of personal skills or attributes of an employee, a
required behaviour within a job role. These skills are defined competencies that employees
need to demonstrate in order to be able to competently do their job. The more competent you
are able to demonstrate yourself to me usually correlates with your suitability for leadership
roles and instilling leadership values on others.
• Competency is a concept linking three parameters - Knowledge, Skills and Attitude. It may be
that an employee has excellent interpersonal skills, but will not be considered competent at
interview to join a company as, for example, a Project Manager unless their education
(knowledge) and attitude fit the required competencies.
• Competency Frameworks therefore can be used as a recruitment tool but also as a
performance management and continuing professional development (CPD) tool.
3. Competency Frameworks

www.makingbusinessmatter.co.uk
What is a Competency Framework?
• A competency framework is a set of attributes and behaviours written by a company that broadly
defines what the company expects from a person in any role or decompartmentalisation of that role. For
example, the company may have a Time Management competency framework through which your
ability to manage your time and prioritise your workload efficiently will be judged against. Take a look at
our Time Management Training Course to give you an idea of expected and useful behaviours.
• Usually this tool will consist of a number of competencies which can be generically applied across a
number of roles within a company. Physically, it often looks like a matrix with scoring system tallied to a
description of the behaviours which demonstrate certain levels of competency. If you would like to
download our example pack please follow the link.
• Critically, it is important that the language is simple and clear enough that it can be readily understood
by any employee, enabling a common understanding of what ultimate job behavior for that company or
role looks like.
• This common understanding of the competency framework then enables
performance management to flow more intuitively and enables any
employee to find better ways to improve their likely score when put
against the framework.
4. Competency Based Interviews
• Advice on competency-based interviews can be frustrating to find. A
better way to prepare yourself is to understand what a competency
based interview is so that you can learn how to provide neat responses
to standard questions in your field.
• In a structured interview, which is what a competency based interview
is, each question is designed to identify specific skills in the candidate.
They are not trick questions. The candidates’ answers are usually then
correlated with pre-determined criteria for the position applied for and
the candidate is graded according to how their answers fit with that
matrix or competency framework. Betters ways to present yourself at
interview are to try to mirror industry standard frameworks when
responding to questions. Reviewing how these frameworks are
structured enables candidates to be more au faire with the sort of
language an interviewer is going to find helpful in scoring you at a
certain level. This embedding of language in application forms is also
helpful to get you shortlisted.

5. Competency Framework and a Personal Development Plan
• Competency Frameworks can be used when writing and
producing Personal Development Plans. Using a competency
Framework for each area of development for an employee (or
pool of employees) adds significant coherent structure to a
Personal Development Plan, with clear attainable targets that
can be usefully evidenced.
• Understanding why Competency Frameworks are important
therefore can help you build a better Personal Development Plan
that provides the employer and employee with confidence in the
continuing professional development process. To read more
about a ‘Personal Development Plan’ and to see examples of
them, please follow the link to our article on them here.
