Definition

The skills audit is a tool included in Educational and vocational guidance, and comprises an assessment of an individual's knowledge, aptitudes and skills including his/her motivations, with the purpose of drawing up a career plan and/or planning a career change or training project.

The aim of a skills audit is to help individuals to:

  • analyse their career background,
  • self-assess their position in the labour environment,
  • prepare themselves for validation of non-formal or informal learning outcomes,
  • plan a career pathway.
