In respect of the application of the QF in human resources development, the commended organizations have actively utilized Specification of Competency Standards to design progression pathways for their respective industries, so as to help practitioners identify their study needs and make future development plans. Some of the awardees have taken the initiative to accept QF recognized qualifications for recruitment criteria and some have even prioritized the applicants with such qualifications.
