Competency Mapping (Linked to NSDC / NAPS)

Standardized, Skill-Based Workforce Governance with Groniva HRMS

As India transitions toward a skills-first workforce, organizations are expected to define roles not just by designation—but by competencies, proficiency levels, and nationally recognized skill standards. Manual skill matrices and disconnected training records make it difficult to demonstrate compliance, plan workforce capability, or align with government skill initiatives.
Competency Mapping (linked to NSDC / NAPS) in Groniva HRMS provides a structured, standards-aligned, and auditable framework to map roles, skills, and proficiency levels—fully aligned with national skill ecosystems.

With Groniva, competency management becomes standardized, compliant, and future-ready.

What is Competency Mapping in Groniva HRMS?

Competency Mapping is a talent and skill-governance capability within Groniva HRMS that enables organizations to:
  • Define role-based competency frameworks
  • Map skills to job roles and grades
  • Align competencies with national standards such as National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC)
  • Support apprenticeship and skilling compliance under National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS)
  • Track proficiency, gaps, and skill progression
The framework ensures skills are measurable, comparable, and nationally aligned.

Why Link Competency Mapping to NSDC & NAPS?

NSDC Alignment
NSDC defines National Occupational Standards (NOS) and Qualification Packs (QPs) that act as benchmarks for skills across industries.
NAPS Alignment
NAPS requires structured role, trade, and skill definitions for apprentices—making competency mapping mandatory for compliant apprenticeship programs.
By linking competencies to NSDC/NAPS:
  • Skills become standardized and auditable
  • Training aligns with national qualifications
  • Apprenticeship and workforce compliance risks reduce
