Qu'est-ce que Skills assessment ?
Definition
A skills assessment is a structured process, conducted with a specialist provider, that analyses your professional and personal competencies, aptitudes and motivations to define a professional or training project. It typically spans 20–24 hours over several weeks.
In practice
In Belgium, skills assessments can be funded by the employer (as part of workforce planning) or by the worker themselves. Approved centres and CEFO (Career, Employment and Training Crossroads) centres provide this service. It is often the starting point for a considered career change.
Key takeaway
A skills assessment isn't just for people in difficulty: it is equally useful for professionals who want to give a new direction to a career that is going well.
