Employers dream of finding employees whose actual capabilities make them a perfect fit for the goals and objectives of the business. As things stand, this dream is unattainable due to the growing problem of “qualification mismatch” that results from technologization.
The problems of qualification mismatch in the labor market
To adapt staff competencies and qualifications to their goals and objectives, companies introduce various standards for corporate training, use centers of further education, and/or engage consultants.
We offer a centralized universal mechanism: the AIP Qualification Framework.
The AIP Qualification Framework is a new approach to the assessment and development of personal potential through lifelong learning.
Personal potential is based on a comprehensive assessment of theoretical and practical knowledge, and psychomotor, cognitive, and other physiological capabilities.
There are many disparate units currently in use in society that define the goals and objectives of assessment and learning (competencies, skills, abilities, knowledge, work activities, job descriptions, specialties, etc.). Due to the wide range of terms in use, the proposed AIP Qualification Framework uses a universal unit known as a “Package.” A package is composed of minimal units known as “Adaptive Information Potential” (AIP) units according to the developers’ classification system. In the context of this document, a “Package” is also referred to as a “Competency” (or “Qualification,” to refer to an amalgamation of several competencies).

- Manage careers. Link employee development and career advancement (rotation) with the results of assessing employees’ current qualification level and potential capabilities, including designing horizontal and vertical scenarios for career paths.
- Maintain compliance with standards and regulations in the areas of employment, training, and HR management. All the framework’s HR processes are linked to the HR document management system and maintain up-to-date versions of professional standards and qualification reference materials.
