Coaching progression
The coaching program will start with a competence survey by using OSKAR that is an easy to use tool for mapping competencies and skills.
OSKAR competence survey tool is based on ESCO - the European classification of Skills, Competences and Occupations that provides descriptions of over 3000 occupations and almost 14 000 skills.
The aim of the survey is to collect information about your professional and other competencies and skills that you have picked up along the way as well as about your motivation, and your professional interests. When your actual competencies and skills have been assessed and recognized it is easier for you to target job search correctly or select the right services to promote employment.
Recognition of competencies and skills is a beginning of the happy story of employment.
