Employability Skills are part of a unit of competency.
Employability Skills statements from a selection of units of competency from the DEF50612 Diploma of Explosive Ordnance 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.
Employability Skill | Employability Skills Statement |
Communication | access and identify safety procedures and instructions follow instructions/directives and reporting information identify and note organisation incident and injury statistics identify and/or acquire documentation and licensing limitations identify and report incidents identify breaches in site safety and act or report on them identify hazardous materials labels and characteristics, and apply recognised and relevant action/criteria obtain relevant authorisation before specialised and hazardous work is carried out present reports in a format that ensures the client can readily understand the determined options and solutions provide evidence to inquiries/courts as required read, interpret and apply information on safety read to a level required to interpret job instructions, workplace forms and reports record and report details of first aid administered record and report incidents and injuries use a variety of verbal and non-verbal communication techniques write at the level required to complete workplace documentation and reports |
