The Career Development Team can offer support to create a professional skills profile specific to IT staff using a Skills Framework for the Information Age - SFIA
What is SFIA?
SFIA describes the skills required by IT professionals in various roles. This framework has become a globally accepted common language for the skills and competencies required in the digital world. It allows individuals and organisations to form a common language to define skill, abilities and expertise in a consistent way.
Benefits of a professional skill profile using the SFIA framework:
- Creating a clearer understanding of professional skills and levels
- A clear view of skills to develop and training needs
- Internal recognition of skills and expertise
Who can help with using the SFIA frame work?
The SFIA framework can appear complex and daunting at first glance. We have a dedicated career development adviser, Rinku Raina who can offer one to one support and create your personal skill profile using the specialist SFIA framework.
