INDUSTRY COMPETENCY INITIATIVE
PRTEC is committed to support the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and industry partners Industry Competency Model Initiative. The above collaboration has resulted in the development and maintenance of dynamic models of the foundation and technical competencies that are necessary in economically vital industries and sectors of the American economy. The goal of the effort is to promote an understanding of the skill sets and competencies that are essential to educate and train a globally competitive workforce.
The models serve as a resource to inform discussions among industry leaders, educators, economic developers, and public workforce investment professionals as they collaborate to:
• Identify specific employer skill needs
• Develop competency-based curricula and training models
• Develop industry-defined performance indicators, skill standards, and certifications
• Develop resources for career exploration and guidance
