The program involves users reviewing the different sets of skills they currently possess and how they can represent their achievements and aspirations for the future in skill terms. The service involves the provision of a web-based platform to support practitioners as collaborative participants in a dynamic community of practice. The Skills Review program has been developed in the UK as part of a European Union funded project. It builds on earlier work on skills profiling and was originally developed as a skills self-assessment tool for employees in small businesses. Since then the program has been used in a variety of other processes including appraisal and staff development; formative assessment prior to entry on learning programmes and in recruitment. The review provides the user with a detailed self- assessment of their skills and abilities and those skills they wish to acquire. Its greatest benefit is in guiding the user through a process of self-enquiry and reflection on their learning, skills and knowledge. The program is intended to supplement the role of careers guidance counsellors and others involved in employment, staff development and assessments processes. The intention of this program is to get users to review the different sets of skills they possess and how they can represent their achievements and aspirations for the future in skill terms. In particular it helps them review their current skills and to think about what skills they may require in two years time. The program also reviews the extent to which the skills and abilities that they already possess can be used as a basis to develop their skills further through on-line learning. The program supports different pathways through the skills review depending upon the complexity of their job and the range of skills typically required. The outcome of the program is a detailed review of the skills they currently possess and those that they would like to develop further expressed in terms of technical skills; information skills; people skills and learning skills. A related project involved the use of information and communication technologies to support the knowledge development of a dispersed community of practice of careers guidance practitioners. The project has developed prototype web-based collaboration and knowledge sharing tools in order to provide a comprehensive telematic platform for interactive and focused knowledge sharing and transformation for Careers Guidance students, tutors, practitioners, policy makers, and training organisations as collaborative participants in a dynamic community of practice.
