Implementation of web-based application for self assessment of professional qualifications.

Abstract

This thesis explores self-assessment of professional qualifications in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector, aiming to introduce improvements with the implementation of a new web-based application. The outcome of the research indicates applications’ functionality that provide adequacy in skills matching and job matching, however there is a gap in the verification of the employability level, as a unique characteristic that may enable professionals to compare their selves with others.

More specifically, the exact point of interest is to enable professionals matching their potential for employment, against ICT professionals that hold roles that they are interested, per geographic region. This thesis focuses in the utilization of such a functionality within a web application, and has clear benefits and implementation difficulties. This is considered as a major problem solving functionality, as it serves to rate professionals, following a rating method developed similar to the ratings provided by financial organizations that verify creditworthiness.
