Tiivistelmä
This thesis presents the design of a competence development path for a starting measurement service company operating in the field of underground utility detection using ground penetrating radar (GPR) in Finland. A shortage of trained professionals in the field poses challenges to small companies entering the industry. The aim of this study is to design a practical and scalable model for developing competence in growing organisation.
The solution was developed using a development-oriented approach. A combination of theoretical frameworks and participatory observations was used to understand the competence demands of the work. The thesis draws from established models including the Iceberg Model of Competence, Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition, and Bloom’s Taxonomy.
The resulting five-stage model supports onboarding, knowledge transfer, and long term career growth. It addresses the need for practical, role-specific learning in technical service context, and lays the foundation for a learning-oriented company culture.
