Employability Skills
Employability Skills are part of a unit of competency.
Employability Skills statements from a selection of units of competency from the DEF40511 Certificate IV in Explosive Ordnance 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.
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.
