Professional Skill Definitions
During the Jamkin Future Factory (IT) course, the suitability of the SFIA competence matrix for the development of competence objectives in study paths is evaluated.
- You can find more detailed descriptions of the different competencies at https://sfia-online.org/en/sfia-8/all-skills-a-z
During the course, a selected set of competencies described by SFIA8 will be followed. Unfortunately, no description in Finnish is available at this time. The instructor will advise if necessary.
