ABSTRACT

Competency-based training needs analysis deals with the identification of the training that must be undertaken by the employees based on the comparison of the required features and their existing competencies. By paying attention to the existing jobs, values and career paths of individuals, it is possible to upgrade the employees' knowledge, abilities and competencies and provide the necessary behavioral change. This working model outlines a systematic methodology for competency-based training needs analysis. The three fundamentals of systematic competency-based training needs analysis (SCTNA) are company (department) characteristics, competencies, and training programs. In the framework of the full planning pattern, the chapter develops the best possible competency-based training programs such as: collect key data, investigate and clarify company (department) characteristics, clarify position- and individual-based competencies and relate to company (department) characteristics, develop training programs, evaluate and accept the best plan.
