5 7. Manage work to meet requirements 8. Work effectively with colleagues 9. Maintain a healthy, safe and secure working environment templates and agreed language standards review documents with appropriate submit documents for approval by appropriate people publish documents in agreed formats with the documents comply with organizational policies, creating documents for knowledge sharing candidates will be able to: establish and agree work requirements with appropriate people keep immediate work area clean and tidy utilize time effectively use resources correctly and efficiently treat confidential information correctly work in line with organization s policies and procedures work within the limits of job role obtain guidance from appropriate people, where necessary ensure work meets the agreed requirements learner will be able to: communicate with colleagues clearly, concisely and accurately work with colleagues to integrate one s own work effectively with theirs pass on essential information to colleagues in line with organizational requirements work in ways that show respect for colleagues carry out commitments you have made to colleagues let colleagues know in good time if you cannot carry out one s own commitments, explaining the reasons identify any problems you have working with colleagues and take the initiative to solve these problems follow the organization s policies and procedures for working with colleagues comply with organization s current health, safety and security policies and procedures report any identified breaches in health, SSC/N9001 SSC/N9002 SSC/N9003

6 10. Provide data/informatio n in standard formats 11. Develop your knowledge, skills and competence safety, and security policies and procedures to the designated person identify and correct any hazards that one can deal with safely, competently and within the limits of one s own authority report any hazards that you are not competent to deal with to the relevant person in line with organizational procedures and warn other people who may be affected follow organization s emergency procedures promptly, calmly, and efficiently identify and recommend opportunities for improving health, safety, and security to the designated person complete any health and safety records legibly and accurately establish and agree with appropriate people the data/information that one needs to provide, when and in which format obtain the data/information from reliable sources check that the data/information is accurate, complete and up-to-date obtain advice or guidance from appropriate people where there are problems with the data/information carry out rule-based analysis of the data/information, if required insert the data/information into the agreed formats check the accuracy of one s own work, involving colleagues where required report any unresolved anomalies in the data/information to appropriate people provide complete, accurate and up-todate data/information to the appropriate people in the required formats on time obtain advice and guidance from appropriate people to develop their knowledge, skills and competence identify accurately the knowledge and skills one needs for the job role identify accurately one s own current level of knowledge, skills and competence and any learning and development needs agree with appropriate people a plan of learning and development activities to SSC/N9004 SSC/N9005

7 address one s own learning needs undertake learning and development activities in line with one s plan apply own new knowledge and skills in the workplace, under supervision obtain feedback from appropriate people on one s own knowledge and skills and how effectively they apply them review one s own knowledge, skills and competence regularly and take appropriate Notes: 1. This document outlines the broad scope of coverage. This should be linked with OBF and training delivery plan. OBF (Outcome based framework) reflects the pedagogy used to ensure an expected outcome. Training delivery plan focuses on the sequence of delivery. 2. Though many NOSs have some seemingly common outcomes, notably core/generic, professional and technical skills, it is imperative to understand the contextual difference between them. For example, communication skills required for obtaining feedback are different from those required for sharing a process compliance report. Training providers are advised to: a. embed such skills development in the learning pedagogy for each expected outcome b. prepare a detailed session plan for training delivery with focus on sequence and duration of training. c. run a diagnostic test to assess prior learning of students and help trainers / students identify the need for gap training and suitable training methodology. Accordingly, more introductory level sessions may be included in guided or self-paced mode of learning. E.g. adding some sessions on Functional English or Basics of electronics.
