Professional Foundations

Competency profiles are powerful tools but often struggle to capture foundational competencies effectively. Foundational competency areas relate to acting professionally, learning, communicating, working with others, working with information, solving problems, managing work, and leading.

The 21st Century Professional Foundations Competency Profile outlines the essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes in these areas that professionals need to practice safely, effectively, and sustainably. These “professional foundations” are central to professional work, regardless of discipline.
