INTRODUCTION This document spells out ILIDP’s implementation process of the course on carpentry. It gives an outline of the modules and the sub contents analysis. The contents of the document have been developed based on the training on the same course as offered in formal youth training centres. We have made deliberate attempts to contextualize the same to fit into the informal mode of TIVET training as offered by ILIDP. We shall continuously review this syllabus to ensure that the trainees optimize their skills acquisition in this informal setting. Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as offered by ILIDP is about integrating hundreds of Loita Maasai youth in the economic mainstream through vocational skills education and training. It seeks to bridge the gap between their lack of formal education and entry into the labour market by equipping them with skills necessary for competitive participation in the labour market. It is worth noting that 90% of ILIDPs TIVET target group are illiterate or semi-literate youth. The need to equip them with vocational skills arouse from the youth’s own initiative to involve the ILIDP programme in efforts to secure resources (funds and facilities) for their training. It is our hope that with strategic management, time and resources, this indigenous community will have found reason to embrace TVET as strategically relevant to poverty reduction and the achievement of the MDGs.

The unwavering support of the Narok Youth Polytechnic is acknowledged in the setting up of this informal training centre. The expertise of our Dutch partners, Edukans Foundation through the Learn4Work Programme, in the development of this curriculum is greatly valued. We mention particularly Dr. Adriaan Vrienten whose professional expertise has guided us this far. Continued collaboration is sought after and hoped for as ILIDP advances on ‘Reaching the Unreachable’.

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

1.1 TO CURICULLUM DEVELOPMENT Curriculum comes from the Latin verb “currere” which means: to run. The Latin noun means: “course or vehicle”. For education purposes the meaning “course” is adopted. More specifically, the brief description ‘plan for learning’ is what will be applied in this document to describe the development of curricula. In curricula development five levels of curricula are distinguished.

Level Description Examples

Supra International Common European framework for languages

Macro System, national Core objectives

Examination programs

Meso School, institute School programs

Educational programs

Micro Classroom, teacher Teaching plan

Instructional materials

Modules

Courses

textbooks

Nano Pupil, individual personal plan for learning

individual course of learning

This curriculum is developed for the micro level. In curricula development two major questions are under discussion:

1. The content perspective: What to learn? 2. The implementation perspective: How to learn?

ILIDP has answered the “What?” question in the Policy Document. The requirements decided on by ILIDP are described in the policy document and are related to the needs of the labour market and the Governmental Trade Test Requirements Grade III. This document seeks to answer the question “How?” of the implementation process. It attempts to create a distinction and establish a balance between three main aspects of curricula development namely:

1. Knowledge 2. Social preparation 3. Personal development

4

To prepare the trainees for the above tasks, the course is planned and executed at two stages:

1.2 CENTRE-BASED TRAINING (AT ILIDP) This consists of four (4) months of centre- based training. The centre based training consists of 640 contact hours per trainee. Theory and practice is at the ratio of 15% and 85% respectively. Support subjects are offered as life skills, entrepreneurial skills and sexual and reproductive health. Basic numeracy and literacy skills are offered on a continuous basis during this period.

1.3 APPRENTICESHIP The trainees are apprenticed to the labour market for 4 months following the completion of the centre based training. During this field attachment, the apprentices will have similar contact hours of 640 per trainee. Training will be offered 5% theory and 95% practical. This is the background to the development and presentation of this syllabus on non-formal vocational skills training as offered by the Ilkerin Loita Integral Development Programme.

2.0 OBJECTIVES AND PROFILES

2.1 COURSE OBJECTIVES

At least the end of the course, the trainee should be able to:-

1. Develop safe working habits and use basic motor vehicle tools and equipment safely and correctly.

2. Perform the necessary adjustment on motor vehicle components. 3. Identify and replace defective parts of motor vehicle. 4. Demonstrate desirable customer relations.

2.2 JOB PROFILES (BASED ON THE GOVERNMENT TRADE TEST REQUIREMENTS)

1. Examine vehicles to determine extent of damage or malfunctions, estimate repair costs 2. Confer with customers to obtain descriptions of vehicle problems, and to discuss work

to be performed 3. Inspect vehicles ensuring all important parts are examined, including belts, hoses,

steering systems, spark plugs, brake and fuel systems, wheel bearings, and other parts 4. Test components and systems, using suitable equipment such as compression gauges 5. Plan work procedures 6. Repair, replace, or adjust worn and faulty parts, using suitable tools and equipment 7. Perform routine and scheduled maintenance services such as oil changes, lubrications,

etc 8. Test and adjust repaired parts or assemblies to make sure they work properly 9. Carry out minor body and trim repairs.

2.3 PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE PROFILE

Profile description The mechanic works mainly in the garage(workshop) and in the field. The specific daily activities of the mechanic are focused on trouble shooting and repairing. For the adequate practice of the professional, practical knowledge is required. The knowledge of different machines and materials of different kinds and models. The mechanic needs to be able to diagnose trouble with any mechanical system and satisfactory remedial action to the client. The mechanic should have entrepreneurial and social skills.

Responsibilities The mechanic is an employee in an engineering workshop or company and carries out all the required activities in close consultation with the foreman or employer.

6

He/she is entitled to perform any job in line with his field of specialization and strives to be honest, trustworthy and determined as this eases communication with the client. The mechanic focuses on quality of services and safety.

Complexities Activities in the workshop are partly routine actions in accordance with standard procedures/methods like: welcoming the client, ask for the problem and prepare for repairing. He or she should be able to detect any problem and complication of different systems The mechanic should be able to solve issues in accordance with professional training, whether or not with the assistance of the foreman or employer.

Professional attitude The mechanic should be client and quality oriented and also characterized by awareness of safety. The mechanic should always maintain a positive attitude in response to the task being given by the client.

Development As part of the operational management system, the case of ICT is becoming an important issue related to activities like stock control, business administration and customer relations. Manufacturers are coming up with different models and therefore, varying vehicle systems. The mechanic needs to be constantly compliant with these advances in technology.

Core assignment of the job In the workshop, the mechanic has to balance between the quality of services according to the wishes of the client and the interest of the enterprise. If needed, the mechanic has to establish priorities and communicate this to the client. The mechanic should interpret the clients’ expectations clearly so as to offer optimal service. The mechanic is the one to advice the client on the expected course of action from his professional knowledge and attitude. The responsibility of determining the timeframe/time scheduling of the activity at hand is the sole responsibility of the mechanic. The mechanic should be keen on safety and safety procedures and should have knowledge of existing guidelines on quality and safety standards. The mechanic should be able to estimate the cost of wanted service and communicate and discuss this with the client.
