This report focuses on transferable skills--those knowledge, attitudinal, and manual skills an employee brings to a job (or an employer expects an employee to bring) that provide that employee with occupational competence and mobility. The concept of "skill" and categories of skill are explored and defined. Chapter I discusses the concept of transferable skills. It looks at labor market issues and how they relate to the need for transferable skills. Developments in training practices are considered to see how they relate to the provision of transferable skills. Training issues are trade teachers, mobility and productivity, competence, and labor market. Chapter II looks at the two groups of skills that have been identified as enhancing job mobility: skills a student will require to complete a course of training and/or retraining and skills needed during a working life. The relationship between skills in the two groups and their usefulness in vocational curriculum design is discussed. Chapter III first considers three curriculum delivery methods relevant to delivery of transferable skills: competency-based delivery, individualized instruction, and modular instruction. Next, DACUM (Develop a Curriculum) is recommended as the most appropriate method for curriculum development for transferable skills. Finally, teacher participation is addressed. Chapter IV outlines the proposed strategy for instilling transferable skills into vocational curricula. A four-page list of references is provided. (YLB)
