What is a skills assessment?

A skills assessment is designed to encourage change and professional development. This individual support enables you to take stock of your career path by identifying your professional and personal skills, as well as your aptitudes and motivations.
Following this work, you will draw up one or more professional projects.

Our If, Conseil & Coaching practice in Luxembourg, Switzerland and Paris puts its know-how at your disposal to provide you with personalized advice.

How to carry out a skills assessment

The skills assessment is a form of support in the form of individual work sessions (face-to-face or remote), lasting from 2 to 6 months, and comprising 20 hours of support and 3 phases:

✔️

The "preliminary" or requirement definition phase

Definition of your expectations and objectives. Duration: 1 hour

✔️

The "investigation" phase

Analysis of your professional and personal background, to identify your skills and personality traits, your motivations and interests, your resources and your interpersonal style.
Diagnostic tools are proposed during this phase. Duration: 10am to 12pm

✔️

The "professional project definition" phase

Based on the information formalized during the investigation phase, structuring of your professional project. Interviews with professionals may be scheduled to validate your project.
At this stage, we also identify the main stages in the implementation of your project, and the factors that may or may not lead to its realization.
A summary document can be produced during this final phase, summarizing your career path, the project selected and the action plan identified for its implementation. Duration: 6 to 8 hours

What are the objectives of a skills assessment?

The objectives of the skills assessment are :

Establish a career plan adapted to the individual's professional aspirations
Formalize the person's skills, aptitudes, intrinsic motivations, values and competencies
Enable candidates to talk confidently about their career path, and showcase their assets to their company or in any recruitment or career transition process.

Duration of skills assessment

A skills assessment program is a step-by-step process over a set period of time. Clients are free to choose the pace and time slots that suit them best, depending on their availability. Around twenty hours of work are required to carry out a skills assessment in the best possible conditions.

Who can benefit from a skills assessment?

All employees

Any employee in the public or private sector, whether an expert, manager or executive, can ask to be accompanied by one of our experts for a skills assessment. Given that the assessment is spread over several weeks, employees who wish to take advantage of this assessment during working hours must obtain prior authorization from their employer. If, on the other hand, he chooses to do so during his personal time, he is not obliged to inform his employer.

All people in professional transition or job seekers

Carrying out a skills assessment in Luxembourg enables you to take stock of your knowledge and skills, your motivations and your values. It's an essential step before embarking on a recruitment process.

The skills assessment process

The skills assessment is carried out in three phases:

Preliminary phase

The first step is to clearly define your expectations and objectives.

Investigation phase

This second stage consists of reviewing the employee's personal and professional career path. The aim is to identify the employee's knowledge, skills, motivations, values and resources.

In the same way, sources of anxiety, demoralization and discouragement are addressed, enabling the person to overcome them and move forward in their professional development.

Our skills assessment coaches are qualified to carry out this mission: using a robust and proven skills assessment methodology, questionnaires and other diagnostic tools, and of course through respectful and personalized support.

Professional project definition phase

This final stage enables us to formalize a professional project, which could be a change in professional environment, a change of profession, training to change profession, etc.

Importance of skills assessment

When you're in a profession that doesn't suit you, that's below or above your skills, when you feel bored, disappointment is often difficult to overcome. The intervention of an external consultant can be useful in getting you to question yourself and rediscover the meaning of your work.

Testimonials

"Isabelle helped me with a skills assessment (...). This in-depth work on myself was extremely enriching. Isabelle unquestionably has not only the technical skills but also the extremely valuable human qualities to accompany this in-depth self-knowledge process. Isabelle also provided invaluable support from the end of the assessment, to validate my professional project, right up until I got my 1st job in my chosen field!

A. T.

Visual Merchandiser

"Isabelle was recommended to me at a pivotal moment in my professional and private life. After 12 years with a large consulting firm, I was asking myself a lot of questions. I needed to take a moment to reflect on where I'd been, and I needed the help of an independent person to help me understand the different paths I could take in the future. The Bilan de Compétences was the perfect tool for my situation. A structured and structuring approach that enabled me to identify my key skills, (re)define my objectives, and work on a career plan in line with my values and personality. Isabelle is an experienced person who brought life, structure and real added value to the approach and the process. I also appreciated the diversity of the tools (discussion time, reflection work, variety of tests). Finally, the approach also includes advice on project implementation and follow-up, which is very useful and appreciated!"
