The project aims to ascertain the specific skills required for various roles within the industry in order to meet the government’s environmental goals.
The issue:
In order to best prepare our industries for the new compliance and best practice requirements needed to ensure the industry can deliver on the Government’s environmental outcomes, it is important to understand what is needed, by which groups, and how to deliver it.
Intended outcomes:
- Outline the knowledge and skills required by the various sectors in the construction and infrastructure industry,
- Map the current delivery and identify potential gaps,
- Create a matrix/framework of competencies to be used as a consistent set of competencies for businesses and individuals and to serve as a portable credential similar to Site Safe which is relevant, consistent and meaningful to all in the industry.
- It will also scope the concept of an outcome monitoring framework.
