Empower Limburg

The OUNL together with public- and private sector partners from the Limburg region - the Empower Limburg consortium – implements a business demonstrator to improve mobility of middle managers between eight of its partner organizations. The Personal Development Planner tool developed by the TENCompetence project is used this demonstrator, together with experimental procedures on how to define shared competence profiles accross organizations.

For this specific pilot four competence profiles have been defined between the eight participating partner organizations: for 'Operational Manager', 'Tactical Manager', 'Human Resource Manager', and 'Senior Human Resource Manager'. The demonstrator will address a mix of use cases: people wanting to keep up to date in their field; people looking for a promotion; and people considering to change jobs.

A total of 25 participants joined the pilot at the start, but additional participants may join later. The participants compile a personal development programme, using the TENC-PDP. Learning opportunities include specially designed non-formal learning activities at one of the other partner organizations (internships); specially designed non-formal learning activities at one's own work place (personal projects); and short formal courses and training activities linked to specific competences.
