Description
This book examines key approaches to maintaining and enhancing knowledge and skills in mid-career and senior-level professionals. It describes the significant factors that contribute to professional obsolescence - such as the rapid rate of technological change, the profusion of knowledge, changing markets, and the ageing workforce. It outlines steps for defining standards of competence within an occupation and provides methods and procedures for assessing a professional's field-related knowledge as well as problem solving and interpersonal skills. Contemporary approaches to maintaining professional competence - from creating work environments that foster competence to promoting self-directed learning opportunities for professionals are also presented.
