"IT needs to have skills that are practiced and current"
CIPS Member Blog on ITWC, Donna Lindskog FCIPS, I.S.P. (ret.)
|
|
Do you view yourself as an expert? How do you know? We need to be able to describe our skills and honestly say what level of expertise we have.
The international (IFIP) code of ethics for IT that CIPS (Canadian Information Processing Society) is currently adopting says that we should “Perform work only in areas of competence” and, further, “A computing professional’s ethical judgment should be the final guide in deciding whether to work on the assignment”. So we need a framework to be able to judge our level of expertise.
CIPS is offering the SFIA framework (Skills Framework for the Information Age) to all members, free. It will help you record your skills and competencies, and even compare your levels to that required for certain job descriptions. Training may be recommended to help you get there. I tried it with trepidation since I have not been keeping current during my retirement. It was quite helpful and specific about what constituted each level.
