Introduction

The Skills for Employment Investment Program (SEIP) Project of the Finance Division of
the Ministry of Finance has embarked on a project which aims to qualitatively and
quantitatively expand the skilling capacity of identified public and private training providers
by establishing and operationalizing a responsive skill ecosystem and delivery mechanism
through a combination of well-defined set of funding triggers and targeted capacity support.
Among the many components of the project, one is to promote a market responsive
inclusive skills training delivery programme. Key priority economic growth sectors identified
by the government have been targeted by the project to improve current job skills along
with upskilling of the existing workforce to ensure ‘required skills to industry standards.
Training providers are encouraged and supported to work with industry to address
identified skills and knowledge to enable industry growth and increased employment
through the provision of market responsive inclusive skills training programmes. Priority
sectors were identified to adopt a demand driven approach to training with effective inputs
from Industry Skills Councils (ISC’s), employer associations and employers.
This competency standard was developed by the collaboration of Skills for Employment
Investment Program (SEIP) and RMG & Textile Industry Skills Council (RTISC). A series of
stakeholder consultations, workshops were held to develop this document.
This document is developed to improve skills and knowledge in accordance with the job
roles, duties and tasks of the occupation and ensure that the required skills and knowledge
are aligned to industry requirements.
The document also details the format, sequencing, wording and layout of the Competency
Standard for an occupation which is comprised of Units of Competence and its
corresponding Elements.

Overview
A competency standard is a written specification of the knowledge, skills and attitudes
required for the performance of a job or occupation or trade corresponding to the standard
of performance required in the workplace.
The purpose of a competency standards is to:
• Provide a consistent and reliable set of components for training, recognising
and assessing people’s skills, and may also have optional support materials;
• Enable industry recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct
assessment of workplace competencies;
• Encourage the development and delivery of flexible training which suits
individual and industry requirements;
• Encourage learning and assessment in a work-related environment which leads
to verifiable workplace outcomes.
Competency standards are developed by a working group comprised of occupation specific
experts, academicians, representatives from NSDA, SEIP and ISC to identify the
competencies required of an occupation in a particular sector.
Competency standards describe the skills, knowledge and attitude required to effectively
perform in workplace. Competency standards acknowledge that people can achieve
vocational and technical competencies in many ways by emphasizing what the learner can
do, not how or where they learned to do it.
With competency standards, training and assessment may be conducted at workplace or at
training organization or any combination of these.
Competency standards consist of numbers of unit of competencies. A unit of competency
describes a distinct work activity that would normally be undertaken by one person in
accordance with industry standards.
Units of competency are documented in a standard format that comprises of
• unit title
• nominal duration
• unit code
• unit descriptor
• elements and performance criteria
• variables and range statement
• curricular content guide
• assessment evidence guides.
Together all the parts of a unit of competency
• describe a work activity
• guide the assessor to determine whether the candidate is competent or not yet
competent.
