We believe in investing in the professional development of our employees and offer a diverse variety of career paths. In 2020, we adopted the five-step OP Specialist Career model, which is designed to support employees’ professional development as experts. It offers an alternative to the traditional way of seeing career advancement through managerial duties and promotions. As an OP employee, you can set your own area of expertise with your supervisor and identify which skills you need to take to the next step as a professional. 

70/20/10 Model  

We use the 70/20/10 model for learning and development. In the model, working hours are divided as follows: 

• 70% on daily assignments 
• 20% on developing work methods to improve efficiency 
• 10% on competence development and learning new. 

In other words, as an OP employee, you get to use 10% of your daily hours to study topics such as cloud services, business studies or a new programming language. At OP, learning and professional development are a major part of our work to help make daily tasks more efficient and meaningful. 

OP Software Academy 

OP Software Academy is OP’s in-house competence development centre. It offers courses that allow you to expand your skills or try out a totally new area of technology. Most courses are designed to fit into the competence development section of the 70/20/10 model, meaning that you can complete them while during working hours!
