Priority Projects - Human Capacity Development

[Samiuela Loni Vea Taufa]

If my recollection is correct, Human Capacity Development was one of our Priority Projects.

This essentially amalgamated a number of Training and related projects in several programs, for example:

  - Policy: 24/7 access to appropriate Government Information / Services

  * 1.0 Program: Network Government Services (GOTNET)
        1.4 Project: Training/skilling. Continuous skills review/updates

  - Policy: Security and Privacy Standards
  * 3.0 Program: Enforcement
       3.1 Promotion / Awareness for everybody
       3.2 Hire more people
       3.3 Train people

  - Policy: Ensure respect of Intellectual Property
  * 2.0 Program: Enforcement
       2.1 Promotion / Awareness
       2.2 Hire people
       2.3 Train people

  - Policy: Advance Government Services through Technical / Vocational Skills Training
  * 1.0 Technology
       1.2 Work Process / Work Flow Analysis
  * 2.0 Training
       2.2 Increase frequency / appropriateness (ICT)
       2.3 Skills (ICT) Plan - classroom and distance education
  * 3.0 Practises (ICT)
       3.1 Code of Conduct - external users, users/employees, administrators
       3.2 Standardisation ...



Let's hear the juices flowing ...

PSC will obviously be an important part of any Human Capacity Development (and to tell you the truth, I don't see why they aren't more invited to all the other Capacity Development efforts happening around here.)

One of the "plan" ideas below is for a Skills (ICT) Plan.

There are various methods of implementing this, one of them is around setting specific skill levels for each task/job description and setting a minimum level of knowledge.

The other component of that ... where PSC is immediately important ... is how do we compensate people for over-achieving ?

Since we want people to learn more than is immediately necessary for their job (on the premise that better skilled staff improves their ability to contribute to a broader part of the job). Are there ways in the current repertoire of skills to compensate, encourage people to take on these new skills (and likewise prepare themselves for further promotion, etc. etc, etc.)

For the non-PSC crowd.

  Is there something in your regime, that might allow for staff to be advanced/compensated for learning more ?

For example:

   Skills 1, 2, 3, 4 are necessary for Job X
   Skills 5, 6, 7, 8 are beyond (1,2,3,4) and necessary for Job Y at a higher pay scale etc.

If someone were to earn skills 123456 while in Job X, does the system encourage their evolving to Job Y or are things more complicated ?
