This module describes the skills, knowledge and right attitudes required to match the learning process with occupation, develop action plan to meet occupation standards and relate occupation with the labor market demand. This module is intended for trainees pursuing Advanced Diploma in all engineering trades. The trainees will be able to identify the occupation and its learning processes. They will also be able to integrate in the working environment, set out the goals to perform the occupation and self- assessment. This module encourages greater motivation and, subsequently, a better integration of various learning. The trainees will be able to independently develop a comprehensive and clear vision of the occupation and training programme at professional level.
