Competencies knowledge skills and Successful Career Promotion

Competency is the ability to apply knowledge, skills, and successfully act based on practical experience in solving problems. Often, a competency is understood as formally described requirements for personal, professional and other qualities of a candidate, employee, or a group of employees of a company. Recently, business has become more careful about human resources issues. Therefore, now the core around which work with staff is carried out is a model of corporate competencies.

A competency model is a set of qualities, skills, and knowledge necessary for the successful performance of some work in an organization. Competency is what you can measure and change (learn, develop). If it cannot be measured or, after measurement, cannot be changed or developed, it is not a competency.

Any specialist from a regular employee to the top-level manager should constantly work on own competence skills and knowledge. As new techniques and technologies appear almost every day, professionals never stop their learning process and mastering new practices and knowledge, and if you do not on improving your knowledge competency, you risk to lose your qualification and to be superseded by competitors, those who pay due attention to their professional development.

Both the rapid development of international trade and the emergence of new proposals from universities and colleges contribute to the growth of the market in the training of skills and knowledge.

On the one hand, we are now witnessing the emergence of new specialties and even business directions, and on the other hand, a really good specialist should have knowledge and competence from related fields, so as to be able to perform a wide range of tasks.

At various classes on professional training students get the modern knowledge and skills necessary for their work in the most accessible form and, very importantly, as quick as possible.
