January 9, 2023 | IMIEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Another partnership project has been completed with a new batch of students from Brigham Young University Hawaii (BYU-H) and the Learning and Development group of IMI. Through a virtual on-campus internship program, the students developed phase 1 of the Automated Competency Program Platform for IMI.
The objective was to create an automated or semi-automated competency database that will provide IMI's assessors and employees with an instant view and reference of the necessary skills for each position, job level and analytics of the competencies being reviewed. The project will enable the quick and automated availability of real-time reports and data 24/7.
The students that completed the project were Darrol Kahuena, Arun Singh, Kyle Montemayor, Xiangru Jin, Koshiro Sugioka and Ezra Magno. The internship program spanned from September to December of 2022. The team from IMI included Ronald Hilaria, Norman Paca, Gaylirose Adame, Stephanie Lloren, Mary Molinar and Sherwin Nones.
