Open access Skills Screening

French-speaking Community

3
This system allows users of the Cité des Métiers of Brussels to analyse their skills in their trade/professional field.

Screening is a process of identifying particular skills allowing the user to benefit from an analysis (to determine the
technical mastery level of the profession) and individualised advice/guidance (suggesting actions to build a path-
way to employment). It should be based on a standardised tool for analysing professional skills associated with a
trade, and an individual interview. This process can be put in place for guidance, training, validation of skills and job
placement.

This project is co-financed by the ESF.

appropriate action (training, validation of skills, job
