 1. INTRODUCTION
The Directorate General of Employment & Training (DGE&T) in Ministry of Labour is the apex
organization for development and coordination at National level for the programmes relating to
vocational training including Women's Vocational Training and Employment Services. Employment
service is operated through a countrywide network of Employment Exchanges. Industrial Training
Institutes are under the administrative and financial control of State Governments or Union Territory
Administrations. DGE&T also operates Vocational Training Schemes in some of the specialized areas
through field institutes under its direct control. Development of these programmes at national level,
particularly in the area concerning common policies, common standards and procedures, training of
instructors and trade testing are the responsibility of the DGE&T. But, day-to-day administration of
employment Exchanges and Industrial Training Institutes rests with the State Governments/ Union
Territories Administrations.

CSTARI one of the field institute of DGE&T is mandated to develop curricula for various courses
under different schemes viz., CTS, ATS, MES, CoE& CITS. All the courses are certificate level and run
on pan India basis under the ageis of NCVT. The curricula developed so far by this institute are skill
based which catered the need of the industry manpower there by contributing significantly in the
development of technical manpower. Hence vocational training provides country wide manpower and
these trained manpower actually builds the wealth for the nation.

The broad concept of industry competency concerns the ability to perform particular tasks and
duties to the standard of performance expected in the workplace. Competency requires the application
of specified skills, knowledge and attitudes relevant to effective participation in an industry, industry
sector or enterprise.

Competency covers all aspects of workplace performance and involves performing individual tasks;
managing a range of different tasks; responding to contingencies or breakdowns; and, dealing with the
responsibilities of the workplace, including working with others. Workplace competency requires the
ability to apply relevant skills, knowledge and attitudes consistently over time and in the required
workplace situations and environments.

In line with this concept of competency based curriculum focus on what is expected of a competent
individual in the workplace as an outcome of learning, rather than focusing on the learning process
itself.

“The Competency Based Training” establishes a direct link between the things which trainees must
learn in institutions and knowledge and skills expected from them for employability “The Competency
Based Training” is a means of instruction which :

I) Identifies the competencies required for work performance,

II) Prepares the trainees through precise learning objectives,
III) Is based on the realities of the world of work

3
When learning deals with performance type activities, it is necessary to analyse each job performed
under a particular vocation. Skills required for doing a job may be manipulative and may require
sequential and chronological order of performance. Therefore, teaching and learning content shall be
presented in a psychological and methodological manner. Hence, identification of competencies
becomes an essential exercise for planning and design a curriculum for vocational courses.

The elements of competency are the basic building blocks of the unit of competency. They
describe in terms of outcomes the significant functions and tasks that make up the competency.
The performance criteria specify the required performance in relevant tasks, roles, skills and in
the applied knowledge that enables competent performance. They are usually written in passive voice.
Critical terms or phrases may be written in bold italics and then defined in range statement, in the order
of their appearance in the performance criteria.
The essential skills and knowledge are either identified separately or combined. Knowledge
identifies what a person needs to know to perform the work in an informed and effective manner. Skills
describe the application of knowledge to situations where understanding is converted into a workplace
outcome.
The procedure followed for this purpose is as follows:

I) listing of job opportunities,

II) identification of duties for each job,
III) analyzing the elements of competencies and setting Performance criteria against each
elements of competencies,
IV) determining courses objectives,
V) Preparing course content by projecting elements of competencies, Performance
criteria, skills, knowledge and personality traits.
