The purpose of the study was to verify employability skills as identified by multiple National Voluntary Occupational Skills Standards groups, and to determine which if any skills were common to all areas. A list of the one hundred largest non-government employers in Oregon was secured and used as the population. An instrument was developed to be distributed to thirty companies, five in each of the Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CAM) endorsement areas. Results of the survey found all 50 skills tested rated 'Very Important' or 'Moderately Important,' and that supervisors and frontline workers did not agree on where skills should be obtained.
