Competency modeling provides a truly ideal framework for your training programs.\u00a0 Studies show that competency-based training offers a return on investment (ROI) nearly ten times higher than the ROI of traditional training methods. Workitect has developed a process entitled the Competency Acquisition Process (CAP) for managing training efforts through increasing levels of competencies. The CAP consists of seven steps, outlined below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Identification of Required Competencies: <\/i>\u00a0Job Competency Models supply this information, or a simpler, less detailed system can be used for non-critical jobs.<\/p>\n

Assessment: <\/i>\u00a0Employees assess their current competencies and compare them to examples of superior performance.\u00a0 Performance assessments by managers are obvious tools as well.\u00a0 Employees and managers then decide which skills to focus on.<\/p>\n

Observation and Study: <\/i>\u00a0Employees study examples or models of superior performance.\u00a0 Trainers provide supporting information to aid participants\u2019 comprehension.<\/p>\n

Practice:<\/i> After acquiring a basic understanding of the concepts involved, participants move to practical, job-related applications of their new knowledge.<\/p>\n

Feedback: <\/i>\u00a0Trainers observe participants applying their new knowledge and offer constructive feedback and reinforcement.<\/p>\n

Goal-Setting:<\/i>\u00a0 Trainers work with employees to set specific goals and action plans for applying new competencies back on the job.<\/p>\n

On-the-Job-Support: <\/i>\u00a0Supervisor and peers reinforce and support each individual\u2019s demonstration of newly acquired skills.<\/p>\n

When your employees enter this cyclical process of planning their own development and acquiring necessary training, everyone benefits. They take responsibility for their own career paths, their own job security, and you gain an ever more skilled and competent workforce. Improved performance, bonuses, increased productivity, and career advancement spell success for everyone.<\/p>\n

Workitect’s Competency Development Guide<\/a> includes details on how you can use this process to develop thirty-five competencies.<\/p>\n
