Process competency refers to the ability to design and implement guidance processes that focus on individual situations or longer-term learning goals of clients and groups. Process competency is related to guidance, where individuals of all ages learn to recognise their competencies, skills, limitations, interests and values and to reflect them against the opportunities offered by their environment. Competency is also needed in processes where individuals make and implement meaningful plans and decisions related to their education, career path, leisure time and livelihood.
