The job skills profiles describe basic skills that are part of working practice, and are based on competence objectives. Employers can ascertain what skills need to be strengthened, and employees can see what type of training they need in the areas of reading, writing, verbal communication, basic maths and IT skills. The profiles can be adapted to individual and local needs. They describe the link between basic skills and the employee’s actual work tasks, and make it easier for the training manager to devise appropriate courses. The profiles can also be used for ordinary vocational upper secondary teaching and can be useful tools in making common core subjects in vocatio- nal training more work-related.
