Other Publications, Reports 20 Mari Kangasniemi, Reija Lilja, Eija Savaja

The central objectives of competence-based qualifications are often cited as the development of the professional skills of those completing the qualification, increasing their competitiveness in the labour market, and improving their employment opportunities. Competence-based qualifications are also thought to enhance companies’ image as active developers of their personnel, while at the same time enabling companies to maintain a broader and more diverse skills reserve. This report assesses the effects of competence-based qualifications on working life in the technology industry, where an intensely competitive international environment places its own particular demands on the skills of employees. The effects of competence-based qualifications are assessed comprehensively using extensive statistical datasets as well as surveys directed at both employers and employees. (AI translation)
