At the end of the Workshop, the participants should have:

  • understood the concept of job competency profiling and its applications;
  • clarified the identified core inter-functional competencies;
  • identified the key functional competencies for each job and its expected level of proficiency;
  • agreed on a draft form which serves to identify individual competency gaps for improvement; and

Programme Objective

This Workshop will focus on producing the following key outputs:

  • Core functional competencies for key jobs;
  • Job competency Profiles of key jobs in the department;
  • Competency development form;
  • List of competency development opportunities; and
  • Implementation framework including communication strategy.

Methodology

A variety of learning methods will be used in the Workshop to achieve the intended objectives, viz:

  • Pre-Workshop assignment
  • Exercises/examples
  • Short Lectures/presentations on concepts
  • Skills practices
  • Plenary discussions
  • Syndicate discussions/presentations

As this is an application-bias Workshop, it is highly recommended that pre-Workshop assignments be given. The purpose of Pre-Workshop Assignments is to ensure that people are given the opportunity to think through the issues and be prepared to produce the expected outputs at the Workshop.

All participants must come to the Workshop ready with the following:

  • Read through the Workshop notes;
  • Completed Pre-Workshop Assignment;
  • Descriptions of ‘Task Analysis’ for all the key jobs in their department; and
  • Job descriptions of key jobs in their department, if any.
