Competency package for

Preface

This Competency Package has been developed and approved by

Sindh Technical Education & Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA)

supported by the World Bank with assistance from MTC International

Development Pakistan Pvt. Ltd – a subsidiary of Management and Training

Corporation, USA. The overall program launched in 2013 is a technical

assistance project established at the initiative of Sindh Technical Education

& Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA) - the public sector implementer,

facilitator and catalyst of TVET in Sindh province.

Occupational competencies/skill standards are the starting point

in vocational training. One has to learn to perform the skills of a job to a given

standard which defines what you need to know and be able to do, to be

certified for a particular position.

One of the deliverables in SSDP includes the development of

competency packages for 33 occupations. These units were developed to

reflect the exact content of specific occupational skills standard. For each task

in the competency, there is a corresponding unit in the text. The package

consists of competency listings identified by the content experts. It also

contains Units with corresponding mapping, code no., title, description,

elements, performance criteria, required knowledge, required skills, range of

variables, assessment evidence criteria and Pre-requisites synonymous to the

curricula. Units of competency in this package have been organized into six

small groups: learning, reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy and

digital technology. While these groups primarily reflect the core skills needed

by worker they also encompass employability skills of communication,

planning and organizing, problem solving, numeracy, teamwork, safety &

health, environmental aspects and IT. These employability skills have been

aligned with the core skills for work.

The units have been prepared for use in these Sindh province.

After approval by the competent forum, the package initially will be tested in

47 STEVTA institutes under 70 programs. It is proposed that subsequently

these may also be widely tested in other training institutes and in-company

training situations at selected places throughout the country. The units will

fine-tuned accordingly. Afterwards these may be adopted at other regional,

provincial and national levels in Pakistan since these skills and qualifications

are not unique to one province or an individual training provider. These

provide a consistent national benchmark for skills and ensure that skills

gained in one province will be recognized across the country. However, in the

wake of some regional variations in conditions and corresponding flexibility

in methods being essential, supervisors and trainers will explain to you the

methods and time adjustments most appropriate to local conditions.

The document has already been reviewed, discussed and

validated by the industry. Companies may tailor the material to their own

market and style of service. The text, however, does reflect the occupational

competencies for the respective trade. These are the requirements what a

worker have to be able to do and know to qualify for certification.

Thanks are due to all the persons and organizations who have

contributed in various ways towards preparation of this competency package.

Thanks are also due to the World Bank for extending its support.

Good luck with your studies.

health and safety requirements take precedence. As working in a confined space is inherently hazardous it is

essential that the worker be able to demonstrate:

Recognition of and the ability to work in a confined space

Compliance with the permit conditions

Recognition and control of atmospheric hazards
