Employability Skills Summary for DEF32212 Certificate III in Sensor Operations
Employability Skills are part of a unit of competency.
Employability Skills statements from a selection of units of competency from the DEF32212 Certificate III in Sensor Operations have been reproduced in the table below.
This table provides an example of Employability Skills for the qualification because Employability Skills within a qualification will vary depending on the qualification packaging options.
Employability Skill | Employability Skills Statement Defence qualifications have core units (which must be achieved) and elective units (where there is a choice of units which must be achieved) so different Employability Skills Summaries are possible within the one qualification, depending on the package of core units and chosen elective units. |
Communication | access, interpret and rehearse fire emergency procedures adjust own communication styles to reflect equity and diversity principles ensure that information, knowledge and skills are communicated effectively and shared apply interpersonal and cross-cultural communication strategies apply appropriate techniques when providing constructive feedback to other team members, and giving and receiving support to/from team members discuss concerns about inability to perform allocated work to organisation's standards with relevant personnel establish internal and external communications follow directives/instructions and report information follow legislative and statutory requirements follow standard procedures, communication procedures, safety procedures, instructions, and organisation policies and guidelines identify, interpret and apply Defence security procedures maintain effective communication by using clear and concise procedures maintain effective reporting procedures observe and use correct voice procedures process messages in line with specific workplace requirements process, transmit and receive messages via voice systems protect classified and sensitive material when passed over communications paths provide timely and accurate reports receive and apply orders and send and receive simple non-verbal signals report any faults, problems or issues report breaches of physical security and security violations report, display and disseminate intercept details use verbal and non-verbal communication techniques including language style, active listening |
Teamwork | assist in the completion of tasks when requested by other team members and is appropriate contribute to identifying team goals and objectives encourage and acknowledge participation by team members monitor the performance of others and take appropriate action through coaching and mentoring recognise, value and adjust own behaviour to individual differences in the workplace by treating others with respect and dignity seek support where required to enable identification and implementation of positive alternatives to personal problems share and communicate effectively between team members, information, knowledge and skills relevant to work transfer radar system operation to a new operator as required transfer the following to a new operator (as required): sonar system operation, torpedo fire control panel system operation, electronic support suite operation, decoy system status understand principles of teamwork and team's aims and objectives work in an acceptable and non-discriminatory manner while establishing rapport and good working relationships with all colleagues work with others and make a positive contribution to the effectiveness and efficiency of a team |
Problem solving | analyse and collate electromagnetic information to identify and classify electronic support suite intercepts assess a fire situation and determine an appropriate course of action calculate range predictions collate and analyse information to identify and discriminate radar contacts collate and analyse information to identify sonar contacts continuously collect, collate and analyse relevant information detect contacts via electronic means (or sonar where applicable) effectively react to changes in the operating environment necessitating re-planning of course extinguish fires interpret cartographic information, navigation techniques, local and environmental conditions navigate to destination respond to threats understand cryptographic materials use calculations for oceanographic data interpretation |
Initiative and enterprise | use improvised techniques appropriately such as minimising personal signature |
Planning and organising | assess and set priorities for work load within allocated timeframes collect acoustic information from other sensors/sources collect electromagnetic information using passive electronic support configure radar system and collect information using radar identification friend from foe (IFF) and other available sensors/sources configure sonar system and/or electronic support suite system demonstrate understanding of, and apply throughout operation, occupational health and safety requirements and recognised safety precautions including those contained in the Australian Defence Force procedures establish torpedo fire control panel identify impact, assess and take appropriate action on factors affecting work requirements to ensure requirements are met observe designated dress codes prepare decoy systems |
Self-management | commit to the jurisdiction's laws and organisation policy, procedures and standards comply with workplace equity and diversity practices conduct self in a manner that shows sensitivity to the differences between colleagues ensure personal preparation is carried out identify, plan and implement personal development strategies maintain high standards of performance, ethics and integrity maintain safety for self and others monitor and manage personal physical and emotional health regularly seek formal and informal performance feedback review, monitor and self-assess own performance |
