Learning and development

Role profiles, which are either generic (covering a 

range of similar jobs) or individual (role-specific), can 

include  statements  of  the  competencies  required. 

These  are  used  to  assess  the  levels  of  competency 

achieved by individuals and so identify their learn-

ing and development needs. Learning events can be 

based on competency analysis related to an organ-

ization’s competency framework.

Competencies  are  also  used  in  development 

centres,  which  help  participants  build  up  their 

understanding of the competencies they require now 

and in the future so that they can plan their own 

self-directed learning programmes.
