Upskilling and reskilling on the basis of a personal career management are key concepts in the modern workplace, where lifelong learning and adaptability are crucial. Reskilling and upskilling are vital as requirements and technologies are constantly evolving.

These terms refer to the process of developing and updating skills and competencies, either to learn new technologies and working methods (upskilling) or to adapt or extend existing skills to meet the demands of new roles or responsibilities (reskilling).

The importance of reskilling and upskilling lies in several key factors:

  1. Adaptability and future-proofing: In a rapidly changing workplace, it is of decisive importance that employees are flexible and able to adapt to new requirements and technologies. Through reskilling and upskilling, skills remain up-to-date and the employees have a better chance of being successful in their future career.
  2. Competitiveness of companies: Companies that invest in upskilling their employees are better equipped to keep up with the changing demands of the market. They can drive innovation faster, retain and recruit qualified specialists and promote a culture of lifelong learning.
  3. Solving skills shortages: In many industries, there is a shortage of skilled professionals with certain competencies and qualifications. By reskilling and upskilling, existing employees can be deployed more effectively and recruitment bottlenecks can be alleviated, ultimately increasing productivity and competitiveness.
  4. Innovation and progress: New technologies and working procedures often offer unprecedented opportunities for innovation and progress. By providing employees with the necessary skills to use these technologies and apply them creatively, companies can open up new business opportunities and differentiate themselves from their competitors.

Our approach: OTP career management “CareerNavi”

OTP has a specific approach to reskilling and upskilling using a holistic career management that incorporates both the interests of the employee and the interests of the company. Our approach comprises the following steps:

Part1 ¦ My goals and values (analysis of own situation and preferences)

Part 2 ¦ My offer (analysis of my own skills portfolio)

Part 3 ¦ My employer’s goals and values (analysis of strategies and customer requirements)

Part 4¦ My employer’s offer (analysis of development opportunities)

Part 5 ¦ My career master plan (goals and milestones)

Part 6 ¦ Implementation of “My career masterplan” (concrete actions)

An essential part of personal career management is setting clear professional goals and designing a personal development plan to achieve these goals. This requires thorough self-reflection and a realistic assessment of one’s own abilities and interests. The OTP online platform offers sophisticated self-assessment tools for this self-reflection. This is then discussed and validated with the mentors and the coach. Based on these principles, the participant develops his/her personal goals and a plan for implementation. These goals and the plan are then compared with the employer’s goals and plans (represented by line managers, mentors and/or the HR department). Once defined, employees develop strategies to achieve their goals and actively manage their career development with the help of mentors and the coach.

In addition, individual career management also includes the development of soft skills and interpersonal skills that are crucial for professional success. This can include improving communication skills, time management, teamwork, or leadership skills. By specifically developing these skills, employees can not only increase their professional performance, but also improve their job satisfaction and motivation. As a result, they also stay longer in the organization.
