Abstract:
This article examines the existing approaches to training need analysis and creating and managing an individual employee competence profile, in the context of the organization's specific need for knowledge, skills and competencies needed to perform the specific tasks for each organization position. The main problems in the technological provision of the whole process are presented: analysis of the competencies of each employee, creation of interactive training content, ensuring the access of the employees to micro trainings and analysis of the achieved results from conducting e-trainings and the accumulated competencies.

A model for a complex system has been proposed, which would provide an opportunity to create individual competence profiles for the positions in the company, development of training content and its connection with the desired already competencies. As a subsequent step of the implementation, the model describes the stages of conducting online courses, assessing the acquired knowledge and documenting them in an individual competence portfolio for each employee, which reflects the remaining deficits of knowledge that need to be filled.

The main benefits of using such a complex tool for providing individual training programs and automatic provision of access to micro-training, based on the specific lack of competencies for each individual employee, are presented.
