• Round 2, DOL TAACCCT Award to Forsyth Tech CC– Community College Consortium for Bioscience Credentials– 12 colleges, 3 centers
• Identify Core Competencies in 3 Sector Hubs• Biomanufacturing
– NBC2
• Medical Devices (new) • Bioscience Laboratory
– Bio-Link

Why this effort to define core skills?
• Give educators the tools to develop courses, certificates, modules, etc. – Assessments
• Define skills and knowledge necessary for entry level positions– Students know and can articulate what they know– Industry recognizes what students know– Means to measure learning outcomes
• Possibly develop credential based on those core competencies

Existing draft
• 10 Core topics• Common Work Tasks• Useful to stimulate discussion• Wording and organization are important if
going to find common ground between other two sector hubs

Organization of Skill Standards
• Critical Work Functions– Major responsibilities of the job
• Key Activities– Activities need to accomplish a critical work
function• Performance Criteria
– Concrete, visible ways that we will know the individual is doing the activity correctly

Example

Then… drill down

Performance Criteria

Texas Skill Standards
• Skill standards tell us what a worker needs to know and be able to do at work and how well he or she must perform to be competent in the job.
![Page 15: Core Competencies for the Bioscience Laboratory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5442cc04b1af9f310a8b478a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Texas Skill Standards Elements
• 3 “Work-Oriented” Elements:– Critical Work Functions - broad areas of
responsibility (10-12)– Key Activities – major tasks required to achieve
Critical Work Function (3-6)– Performance Criteria – standard or proficiency
level to which Key Activity must be performed– Plus 3 “Worker-Oriented” Elements
![Page 16: Core Competencies for the Bioscience Laboratory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5442cc04b1af9f310a8b478a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example
• Critical Work Function• 2. Clean and maintain environment • Key Activity• 2.1 Clean laboratory environment Performance Criteria• 2.1.1 SOPs are followed• 2.1.2 Personal protection equipment (PPE) such as gloves,
eye protection, aprons and respirators are worn as needed • 2.1.3 Appropriate agent(s) and amounts for cleaning are used• 2.1.4 Cleaning is documented
![Page 17: Core Competencies for the Bioscience Laboratory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5442cc04b1af9f310a8b478a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• 3 “Worker-Oriented” ElementsOccupational Knowledge, Skills and Conditions – technical know-how plus tools, resources & equipment
• Knowledge of the cleaning agents, pest control and other pertinent information needed to clean and maintain the laboratory environment
• Knowledge of company EH&S, GXPs, and OSHA• Knowledge of documentation• Knowledge of basic chemistry • Company SOPs• Cleaning Agents• Gloves, goggles, apron, respirator• Safety SOPs, Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and related documentation• Other PPE as needed• Company safety forms for activityPLUS
– Academic Knowledge and Skills – traditional subjects
– Employability Knowledge and Skills – SCANS-type competencies

Elements in Skill Standards
• 7th Element:
• Statement of Assessment – how to
evaluate skill competency of person, as
recommended by industry
• Examples: Lab practical, lab notebook
![Page 19: Core Competencies for the Bioscience Laboratory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5442cc04b1af9f310a8b478a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
So…
• Current draft is not organized in this way• Next steps?
![Page 20: Core Competencies for the Bioscience Laboratory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5442cc04b1af9f310a8b478a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Process?
• Identify Core Critical Work Functions– Big buckets– Not too many of these– Put activities in appropriate bucket
![Page 21: Core Competencies for the Bioscience Laboratory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5442cc04b1af9f310a8b478a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Possible: Critical Work Functions
• Perform routine laboratory support• Maintain a safe and productive work
environment• Perform record keeping and manage data• Use measurement instrumentation accurately• Practice quality control and comply with
government regulations
![Page 22: Core Competencies for the Bioscience Laboratory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5442cc04b1af9f310a8b478a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Key activities for one Critical Work Function
• Perform record keeping and manage data– Maintain laboratory notebook– Enter and manage laboratory information
electronically– Follow/write documentation such as SOP, batch
record, etc.
