The National Competency Framework is an important tool to ensure that programs meet the needs of the labor market and specialized fields.
The ultimate goal of training is to equip workers with the knowledge to perform their jobs and advance in their careers, and standard training programs must achieve this.
With consulting support from the Senior Leader Bureau United Kingdom and SVEB Switzerland, all programs at SIMI Swiss are accredited by the UK National Competency Framework. Each training program at SIMI Swiss is fully aligned with the competency systems for each profession as defined by the UK and European governments.
Professional competencies are vital tools for universities to develop programs that meet the needs of businesses and specialized fields. They also serve as crucial resources for HR directors in recruiting, evaluating employees, establishing salary grades, and implementing internal training.
With compatibility and alignment with the National Occupation Standards and Competency framework, the program of SIMI Swiss ensures that graduates possess the competencies required for employment, can have their competencies recognized, and accumulate micro-credentials that provide a significant advantage in the dynamic work and business environment.
Each training program aligns with a specific national competency framework, depending on the professional field. For instance, the MBA program is aligned with the Senior Leader competency framework (Code ST0480), while the Master of Arts in Human Resources Management and Talent Development aligns with the Senior People Professional framework (ST0813). At the doctoral level, science PhD programs meet the competency framework for the Research Scientist position (ST0759).
All programs at SIMI Swiss are aligned and fully mapped to the Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviors of the National Qualification Framework.
