When you complete the course, you'll learn how to use experiential methods and tools, such as job analysis, benchmarking, competency dashboards, skillset summary checklists, and total skillset scores, to quantify your skills and objectively measure your level of skills acquisition against the likely competition. It will tell you how much of each skill you will need to beat the competition. It will also help you monitor the levels of skills acquisition to guide your professional development.In addition, we will show you how to use a simple, yet powerful computer program to organize and manage your skills inventory. Your completed project will focus on your desired job and will include three components: 1) A Skillset Summary Checklist; 2) A Selection Criteria Statement; and 3) A Professional Development Plan. Upon completion, you will be able to use the results of the project to strengthen your next job application (or promotion request).
