4 Definitions Keywords /Terms Sector Sub-sector Occupation Job Role Occupational Standards (OS) Performance Criteria National Occupational Standards (NOS) Qualifications Pack (QP) Electives Options Unit Code Unit Title Description Scope Knowledge and Understanding Organisational Context Technical Knowledge Description Sector is a conglomeration of different business operations having similar business and interests. It may also be defined as a distinct subset of the economy whose components share similar characteristics and interests. Sub-sector is derived from a further breakdown based on the characteristics and interests of its components. Occupation is a set of job roles, which perform similar/ related set of functions in an industry. Job role defines a unique set of tasks that together form a unique employment opportunity in an organisation. OS specify the standards of performance an individual must achieve when carrying out a function in the workplace, together with the knowledge and understanding they need to meet that standard consistently. Occupational Standards are applicable both in the Indian and global contexts. Performance criteria are statements that together specify the standard of performance required when carrying out a task. NOS are occupational standards which apply uniquely in the Indian context. QP comprises the set of OSs, together with the educational, training and other criteria required to perform a job role. A QP is assigned a unique qualifications pack code. Electives are NOS/set of NOS that are identified by the sector as contributive to specialization in a job role. There may be multiple electives within a QP for each specialized job role. Trainees must select at least one elective for the successful completion of a QP with Electives. Options are NOS/set of NOS that are identified by the sector as additional skills. There may be multiple options within a QP. It is not mandatory to select any of the options to complete a QP with Options. Unit code is a unique identifier for an Occupational Standard, which is denoted by an N Unit title gives a clear overall statement about what the incumbent should be able to do. Description gives a short summary of the unit content. This would be helpful to anyone searching on a database to verify that this is the appropriate OS they are looking for. Scope is a set of statements specifying the range of variables that an individual may have to deal with in carrying out the function which have a critical impact on quality of performance required. Knowledge and understanding are statements which together specify the technical, generic, professional and organisational specific knowledge that an individual need to perform to the required standard. Organisational context includes the way the organisation is structured and how it operates, including the extent of operative knowledge managers have of their relevant areas of responsibility. Technical knowledge is the specific knowledge needed to accomplish specific designated responsibilities. 4
