What could be Improved
• Sometimes you need more
knowledge to do a simple task
from different sources?
• Uniformity in testing the
employee as a student?
• Transferable of grades? – I
need to represent the grading
and use of grades better?
• Looks like a continuous and
never ending process – do I
need to represent differently or
knowledge gaining is a
continuous process?
Questions?
• How is the student going to get
non-linear knowledge
procedure? The current
system is linear.
• If the student-employee
doesn’t like in the current job,
what next?
• If the person wants to go to
higher level, what is the
process?
• If the person wants to start
their own company?
Ideas

foundation in theory with a few
courses related to the job
she/he is aspiring for, before
joining
