Key competencies industry validation project: stage one report

The objectives of this project were to establish: (1) whether the proposed set of seven key competencies proposed in the 'Mayer report' covers the range of key competencies required by industry for effective participation in work, including for participation in emerging forms of work organisation; and (2) whether the draft key competency performance levels are appropriate and relevant to industry requirements at entry level. This stage one report of the project includes project findings and recommendations.

A set of nine recommendations are included.
