Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to facilitate participatory planning and learning activities. It requires the ability to devise strategies for facilitating participatory planning and learning and to carry out, report on and review participatory planning and learning. Facilitating participatory planning and learning activities requires knowledge of permaculture principles and practices, a range of participatory planning and learning activities, codes of conduct and ethical behaviour and group presentation methodology.All work is carried out to comply with workplace procedures.This unit applies to individuals who analyse information and exercise judgement to complete a range of advanced skilled activities and demonstrate broad knowledge in an area of work with depth in areas of specialisation.
