The Occupational Competency Standard (OCS) is a framework developed by Taiwan's Workforce Development Agency under the Ministry of Labor. It defines the combination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to perform specific occupations or job tasks effectively. Each OCS outlines key components such as main work tasks, behavioral indicators, work outputs, and the necessary competencies, including knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
The OCS framework is structured into six competency levels:
-
Level 1: Ability to perform routine and repetitive tasks under close supervision.
-
Level 2: Capability to handle tasks requiring some judgment and understanding under regular supervision.
-
Level 3: Competence to independently complete tasks in partially variable and non-routine situations under general supervision.icap.wda.gov.tw+2FFTC Agricultural Policy+2icap.wda.gov.tw+2
-
Level 4: Skill to independently execute tasks involving planning and design in frequently changing situations with minimal supervision.
-
Level 5: Proficiency to autonomously accomplish tasks in complex and dynamic environments with minimal oversight.
-
Level 6: Expertise to apply integrated professional knowledge and techniques to complete innovative tasks in highly complex and changing situations. icap.wda.gov.tw
These standards are accessible through the Integrated Competency and Application Platform (iCAP), which serves as a repository for various OCS documents across different industries. The iCAP platform supports talent development by providing resources for competency benchmarks, quality control, and certification courses.
By utilizing the OCS framework, industries can align workforce development with standardized competency benchmarks, ensuring that professionals are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet occupational demands.
