digital credentials to recognise humanitarian skills?
5. Rapid deployment
Recruitment & deployment processes
conducted at speed require HR & roster
managers to be able to make important
decisions quickly about each candidate’s
suitability
Learning on-the-job
Humanitarians are time-poor and the
nature of their work means that learning
is often through practical experience as
well as formal courses & assessments.
Movement
Humanitarians move frequently between
locations and organisations, and need
evidence of their skills and experience
which is recognisable and verifiable
across borders
Learning and recognition challenges in the humanitarian sector
Rapidly changing contexts
Humanitarians need to be adaptable and
able to learn and apply new skills
throughout their careers to respond to
rapidly changing contexts and conditions
