Unfortunately (or fortunately, LOL), I'm missing today's meeting because of a SkillsUSA conference in Phoenix, AZ.

SkillsUSA is introducing a new format for the Standards and Competencies section in our career cluster: Architecture and Construction

Our task
is to structure the Standards and Competencies section in “tiers.”

Tier 1: The core competencies and skills that ALL students in an Architectural Drafting program need to be able to do.
Tier 2: The core competencies and skills that an entry-level employee needs to be able to do.
Tier 3: The core competencies and skills that a very high entry-level employee.

In each tier, we are asked to answer the following questions.
  • What tasks can be assigned to develop the core competencies and skills?  
  • What equipment is required to complete these tasks? 
  • What credentials should students at this level possess?  
  • Which SkillsUSA Framework skills are essential for students at this level?
