Ohio Construction Technologies Competency Profile.

This document, which lists construction technologies competencies as identified by representatives from government agencies and labor organizations as well as secondary and postsecondary educators throughout Ohio, is intended to assist individuals and organizations in developing both college tech prep programs and apprenticeship training/education programs that will prepare students from secondary through post-secondary associate degree programs for employment in these three occupational cluster areas: apprenticeship, design-build, and construction management. Each of the cluster areas contain essential competencies common to each of the occupations within the cluster and competencies specific to an occupation. The competencies, which are separated into essential competencies needed to ensure a minimal level of employability and recommended competencies, are organized by instructional units and include suggestions as to when students should be introduced to and proficient at them. Sample topics include management; codes; materials; construction processes; estimating; skills development; civil surveying and communication. Appendices include a list of technical competency profile (TCP) panel members and a pathway template. (MO)
