How are the industry competency model frameworks developed?
ETA is working with industry leaders to develop a model of the foundation and cross-industry sector technical competencies required for success in each of the high-growth industries. This effort builds on existing national and state skill standards, technical curricula, and recognized certifications in the respective industry. After identifying and analyzing these key resources, a draft model is developed using the Building Blocks Model as a framework. ETA convenes meetings of industry experts to review and comment on the model providing feedback and input to ensure that the competencies are those critical to the industry. After acceptance and endorsement by industry leaders, this framework allows for consistency across industries, customization within sectors, and easy updating in order to accommodate changing technology and business practices.
