The main idea of the project was to create opportunities to identify, assess and validate the competencies / qualifications acquired in a person's work (QAWA). Especially now - in the post-pandemic period - it is becoming clear that the processes of assessing a person's competencies can and must rise to the electronic space, as there are many means by which a person's abilities or part of them can be validated remotely. Moreover, the process of competence assessment must be transferred to the electronic space for its maximum convenience and friendliness to interested parties, because remote assessments can be performed even without a person leaving his / her real place of work and demonstrating his / her abilities in it. The process of checking a person's accumulated theoretical knowledge would be even simpler.
In a rapidly changing world, new challenges arise in the day-to-day, but the competencies acquired through education are often insufficient to solve them. Educational qualifications usually save in typical situations by applying standard solutions, but in an atypical situation in the workplace a graduate often lacks knowledge to take further action. In finding the right solution, employees often rely on their experience and precedents, seek advice and help from more experienced or longer-term colleagues, and seek information online or from other available sources. In this way, the employee acquires knowledge and skills that significantly supplement and expand the educational qualification in the long run, which facilitates finding solutions in atypical situations. This is where the PROBLEM arises: the educational qualification awarded to a person guarantees the possession of general and slightly deeper knowledge and skills, as well as, ideally, the ability to adapt to a job, but there are no instruments to measure the experience gained by a person at work .
