Individuals’ attitudes and behaviour can be assessed and analyzed, thus, people can be directed to suitable vacancies and measures for development. Essentially, the application allows using MyCompetence’s resources for the needs and purposes of the Employment Agency. These resources include: questionnaires for assessment, online trainings, competency models for positions in different economic sectors. In addition, the application includes tools, developed especially for profiling, which assess jobseekers’ individual characteristics. Thus, their profiles would contain comprehensive, significant and meaningful information.
