Seminar
Goal:
This training for facilitators
is designed to teach participants how to conduct, facilitate, manage
and apply the outcomes of DACUM/occupational analysis in their agencies.
DACUM process
incorporates the use of a focus group in a facilitated storyboarding
process to capture the observations of high performing incumbent workers
regarding the major duties and related tasks included in an occupation.
The panel
of workers builds a wall full of the duties and tasks that make up their
job. Because of the focus and flexibility, the group can develop
the job profile quickly and edit and refine it in a more collaborative
fashion.
How
the DACUM process can benefit your agency:
•Evaluation of position
descriptions
•Training designed needs
assessment
•Americans with Disabilities
Act Compliance
•Personnel selection
•Participating in community
services
•Educational programming
After
completing the training, participants will be prepared to complete a
job task analysis for a specific worker group.
