Research the employee competencies which a company (entity) defines for their employees, as focus areas to demonstrate and develop. The company/entity can be a 'for profit' firm, company, government agency, not for profit, university or another entity.

The objective of the assignment is to learn what a company/entity identifies as critical competencies (could also be described as employee behaviors, values) for development and ultimately success of an employee. In addition, to learn how a company's competencies align with the success of the company. This provides you with insights aligned with the main purposes of the course. Some companies utilize competencies in their interview process. One HR resource states: "A clearly defined competency-based selection process can aid in recruiting, demonstrate fairness, encourage diversity and simplify the process of filling new openings."
