Competencies are job skills. They are the knowledge and practical ability required to do the tasks of a job. To be recognized as having a competency, a worker has to be assessed though observation, to a set standard, in a job setting. In many parts of the United States, throughout Europe, and in other places around the world, competencies are the currency through which employees find jobs and advance in their careers. This report collects some insights from competency frameworks around the world and proposes future steps to develop Canada’s own competency framework.
