BeWell Competence Matrices offer a simple and organized way to define and assess one’s key skills needs to succeed in today’s fast-changing, digital, and sustainable job market!
BeWell Competence Matrices help people identify and improve important digital skills and green skills, as well as new job roles for the future. They make it easier to understand and recognize these skills across different countries, helping healthcare professionals be better prepared for future challenges and opportunities, have job plasticity or move to new places. This also makes it easier to see what skills someone already has, creating a more skilled and sustainable health workforce.
These matrices outline the essential learning outcomes (competence, skills, and knowledge) that learners must acquire across various sectors, aligning with modern educational and professional demands.

Key Features of BeWell Competence Matrices
BeWell Competence Matrices serve multiple purposes across the education and professional landscape:
- Reference Framework for Training Programmes: The matrices serve as a reference frame for designing training programmes and developing courses. By identifying the specific competencies required for each role, educators and institutions can ensure that their curriculum is aligned with the needs of the labour market and European policies.
- Criteria for Assessment: Competence matrices provide criteria for assessing learners’ progress, performance, and certification throughout training programs. This allows educators and institutions to effectively measure learning outcomes and ensure that individuals meet the required standards.

This transparency helps learners, trainers, and employers understand each other’s competencies and qualifications, fostering cross-border mobility and cooperation.
