The 21st century competence for education label - ICD-HR21
Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication: these 21st century skills, commonly referred to as the 4Cs, have become educational priorities to be acquired or improved in addition to the technical skills usually taught in schools.
TheInternational Institute for Competency Development(ICD-HR21), in collaboration with the AFNOR Group, offers educational institutions the opportunity to be assessed for 21st century skills (soft skills). Our specialized multicultural educational experts assess your educational institution on the basis of the skills students need to succeed in the 21st century.
The objective of the labeling process is to provide an independent assessment of your education and training institution to evaluate the ability of programs and staff to facilitate the use of the 4Cs by students. The ultimate goal of this process is to enable current students, employees and entrepreneurs of tomorrow to innovate in order to meet new market expectations and to solve potential problems encountered.
