Skills assessment and competency evaluation

Skills assessment and competency evaluation are processes used to determine an individual's abilities and qualifications for a specific role or task. Skills assessment focuses on measuring specific technical or practical skills through tests or practical tasks. Competency evaluation looks at a broader set of qualities, including knowledge, behaviors, and attributes that contribute to job performance. Both are used by employers to ensure candidates or employees are capable and suitable for their roles, helping to identify strengths and areas for development, and ensuring organizational standards are met.
