We believe every competency counts.
Competence Works was born from the conviction that informally acquired skills, non-linear career paths and hidden talent should be visible and usable.
Vision
Everyone should be able to make their competencies visible and usable – whether acquired through formal education or informally. Competence Works aims to become a leading solution for making competencies visible, validated and purposefully deployed.
Mission
Competence Works creates an ecosystem where people can identify, credibly certify and visibly present their competencies – to find suitable roles, advance their careers or develop with clear direction.
