Why each option

To align employee competencies with strategic IT initiatives, the most effective approach is to integrate the achievement of these required competencies directly into employee performance goals.

ASet management goals to hire cooperative work experience students.

Hiring cooperative work experience students might bring new skills, but it's a staffing strategy, not a comprehensive approach to align the *entire existing employee base's* competencies with strategic initiatives.

BSpecify minimum training hours required for continuing professional education.

Specifying minimum training hours focuses on input (time spent training) rather than output (actual acquisition and application of competencies aligned with initiatives).

CRequire balanced scorecard concepts training of all employees.

Requiring balanced scorecard concepts training might improve understanding of strategic measurement, but it doesn't directly address the development or alignment of specific technical or soft skills needed for planned IT initiatives.

DAdd achievement of competencies to employee performance goals.Correct

Integrating the achievement of specific competencies into employee performance goals directly motivates employees to acquire and demonstrate the skills necessary for planned initiatives, making competency development a measurable part of their job responsibilities. This direct linkage ensures accountability and focuses individual development on strategic needs.
