QUESTION 1
1.1.
The excerpt presents a perspective of a competent human being that goes beyond technical
skills and focuses on the whole person. One key characteristic is self-directed agency. A
competent human being is seen as an active decision-maker who takes control of personal
and career development. Such a person sets realistic goals, makes informed choices, and
accepts responsibility for the outcomes of those choices. Human competence is therefore
linked to autonomy, intentional action, and accountability.
Another important characteristic is adaptability. The excerpt highlights that competent
human beings are able to respond effectively to change, especially in uncertain and rapidly
changing work environments. They are willing to learn continuously, develop new skills, and
adjust to career transitions, technological advances, and organisational change. This ability
to adapt supports long-term employability and personal growth.
