According to the
TSSB
Guidelines for the Development, Recognition
and Usage of Skill Standards,
recognized skill standards are required to be
reviewed and updated every three to five
years. By that time (or even sooner,
depending upon the occupation), the actual
work may not have changed but the equipment,
resources, or tools used to complete it most
likely have. In some occupations, the actual
work has changed dramatically, requiring a new
development process to determine the broad
work responsibilities, key activities,
conditions, and other elements of the skill
standards. Thus, the review verifies that
the content of the skill standards—made
up of several elements—is still valid in
today’s working environment. Industry
representatives participate in the review to
ensure that the contents of the standards
represent the skills needed of entry-level
technicians in the field.
