In modern conditions, special attention is paid to the level of competence of the employee. And this is not surprising, because each company wants to see in its ranks professionals who will work to serve the benefit of the organization. Qualification of an employee is a combination of knowledge, skills necessary for the performance of work. The level of training is very important when applying for a job. Each employer is looking for the best employee in their company, and therefore qualifications are currently coming to the fore.
Educational process
Modern life is such that every person who wants to get a good job and make decent money must get an education: higher or specialized secondary. After graduation, the student receives a diploma, but this does not mean that he is now a qualified employee. Certificate of education - level of knowledge. The qualification of an employee is, first of all, experience.
But where to get it? In many institutions, senior students are sent to practice so that they can learn a little about the profession, not only theoretically. Further, all responsibility falls on the shoulders of the person himself: his qualifications will depend on personal qualities.
Each student has a different level of knowledge and skills, therefore, when applying for a job, the employer conducts a personal interview in order to find out whether this or that person is suitable for him as an employee. The qualifications of educators determine the level of training of former students, so the employer chooses employees from the best universities in the country.
Scientific Degrees of Qualification
Now in Russia there is a new graduate division system. Previously, everyone was a specialist, but at the moment a bachelor and a master have appeared. Opinions were divided about this system: some consider it a failure, others, on the contrary, consider it the best. Such a qualification as a bachelor can be obtained by a student studying for 4 years, specialists need to receive knowledge within 5 years.
If a person intends to become a scientist, first you need to get a master's degree. To do this, spend 6 years in an educational institution. The qualifications of teachers have a huge impact on the educational level of students. Professors and associate professors are able to teach students their specialties, thereby preparing competent experts for the country.
At the end of the educational institution, each student is required to write a graduation thesis, according to the results of which he will be awarded a qualification. This work will determine the theoretical and practical knowledge of the student, as well as the level of his skills.
Skill levels
The quality of the workforce in our country is determined using qualification categories. They are assigned to workers based on the results of the decision of the certification committee. In factories, industrial workers have a discharge. In total there are 6 species, the first is the lowest, and the sixth is the highest.
The Institute for Advanced Studies of workers divides them into categories. The salary of the employee directly depends on this. It is determined using tariff rates. For an engineer, they are distributed from 0 to 1. These are the values by which the salary is multiplied, depending on the category of employee. For engineers, the degree of discharge is determined on the contrary: the first is the highest, the second is the less qualified, etc.
Each employee has his own job description, which clearly outlines his rights and obligations. Attached is a list of qualification requirements that represent the knowledge and skills of the employee. They are necessary for the successful completion of the work.
The professional qualification of an employee is beyond doubt if he does everything qualitatively. Managers appreciate such personnel and strive to improve working conditions. In the event of any dispute, the opinion of qualified workers is decisive.
Qualified Groups
To determine the level of knowledge of a person there is a special unified tariff scale. In this regard, there are four main groups of workers based on the level of qualification:
- Unskilled (laborers). Such employees do not have special knowledge, in most cases they have specialized secondary education. Often occupy low positions, such as a cleaner, a loader, etc.
- Unskilled. Such workers trained for about a month, can perform simple tasks.
- Qualified. They are trained for 1-2 years, they are also practicing specialists. They perform work of a difficult level, some are able to lead a group of people.
- Highly qualified. Such employees have higher education, extensive practical experience, often occupy senior positions.
Continuing education of medical workers, educational staff is especially relevant in our time. After all, two main factors in life depend on them: health and the level of knowledge.
Types of continuing education
This type of staff training is quite popular, because improving knowledge and skills will benefit not only the employee, but the organization as a whole. Further training of educators and other spheres of activity can be short, medium or long.
Short-term training takes no more than 72 hours and is usually carried out at the place of work. Highly qualified employees share their knowledge with beginners. After that, students pass the exam, in case of a successful result, they will be issued certificates of advanced training.
The average duration of training is from 72 to 100 hours. It is relevant if the company introduces new technologies or changes the scope of activities. Further training of this kind is carried out in the form of trainings or seminars.
Long-term training is effective for experienced employees who need to gain new knowledge to perform practical tasks. Such advanced training can be carried out with a separation from production. Sometimes workers are sent to another city, but at the same time, the position and salary of the employee are preserved.
Features of continuing education
Each profession has its own distinctive features. If we talk about government workers, we can note their division into managers, assistants and advisers. Also in the relevant bodies there is also a maintenance staff that performs the simplest tasks.
There is also a division of posts into groups, such as junior, senior, leading and higher. But this is not always true. Further training of teachers is aimed at studying modern technologies by a teacher. In addition, it is necessary to successfully apply knowledge in practice and have a positive result. Only in this case, the teacher can get the highest category.
The Institute for Advanced Training of Education Workers involves serious training for teachers, because training at the moment is an integral part of people's lives. Demanding for teachers is due to the desire to increase the level of knowledge of students.
Students problem
Employers appreciate highly skilled workers who have extensive experience and know everything about the profession.But what about yesterday's students? After all, it is clear that the company will choose a more experienced representative as an employee. Currently, there are few organizations that are ready to give young people a chance, but what to do?
If a student wants to achieve a high position and become a professional in his field, first he will have to work in low positions. It is advisable to start working in the last courses as a laboratory assistant or assistant manager in order to master the practical part of the specialty. In the modern realities of autumn, knowledge of a foreign language is important. In almost all areas, the ability to speak English is required. The main thing is to cling to all the possibilities of advanced training, because the competence of a specialist depends on this.
Personnel training
Initial training is carried out in educational institutions: institutes, colleges, etc. Future managers must have higher education, and for workers there is enough secondary specialized education. The qualification of an employee is the level of training required to perform duties. For its acquisition, the employee is trained always and everywhere.
New employees often hear the phrase: "forget what you were taught at the institute." Of course, this is not worth doing, but the fact is that in most cases the theory and practice are significantly different. Therefore, employers are forced to conduct training in the workplace so that the newcomer understands what is required of him. In addition to practice, the organization tells its theory, thereby preparing employees for work.
Staff retraining
This type of training is relevant for workers who are mastering a new specialty. In fact, there is no fundamental difference between training and retraining. Training can be carried out both on the territory of the enterprise, and on the road. Features of retraining of employees:
- It is necessary in the case of the planned promotion of personnel: a person masters, for example, a leadership position, since he had never held it before.
- This type of training is characterized by the fact that the second profession is being studied. That is, a person will be competent already in two specialties.
Training, retraining and advanced training of medical workers, teachers and representatives of other professions positively affects the level of education in the country. After all, the more qualified specialists, the better their services.
Conclusion
In concluding, it should be noted that the role of learning is increasing every day. The qualification of an employee is the degree of his competence in a particular profession. The Russian education system allows people to grow from ordinary students into sought-after specialists. Persistent work on oneself and constant self-improvement are able to make a professional out of any ordinary employee.
