Description

The CAPEB Skills Pack Portal (CSPP) is a human resources software which aims at evaluating employees’ skills in craft building companies. Indeed, craft building employers don’t think of skills as a leverage to improve the performance of their companies. It focuses on the connection between the employees’ activities, the skills they have and the skills they need to have to perform well these activities. From there, training modules are created, matching the activities of each trade. It is a skills management system, which puts into perspective the skills currently needed by craft building companies and those that we can presume will be needed in the future, in accordance with the evolution of the sector and of each trade.
