Assessment Center für Auszubildende

Therapeutic and caregiving professions, including the profession of midwifery, place high demands on their practitioners. Professional and personal competence must be in particular harmony in this field. However, the three-year training program does not always seem to sufficiently support personal competence, suggesting that a certain level of this competence must be a prerequisite for the training. In contrast, the legal entry requirements for applicants in these professions are often loosely regulated.

The author Monika Kraienhemke first provides an overview of the theoretical foundation of the key qualifications concept and the basics of personnel selection. Through a job and activity analysis, she identifies possible key qualifications for the midwifery profession. Building on this, she develops a concept to base the selection of trainees within an assessment center on key qualifications. Work materials enable concrete implementation. The book is aimed at educators in midwifery, teachers for nursing professions, and all decision-makers involved in the selection of trainees.
