Development of a European vocational training system and competency models for waste water and sludge treatment plant operatives, supervisors, technicians and craftsmen

Objective

OBJECTIVES
The objective of the project is to provide a European vocational training system and performance standards for employees of waste water and sludge treatment plants, which are required to satisfy the requirements of the EC Directive on Urban Waste Water Treatment.

ACTIVITIES
The partners propose to produce training modules with a view to the development of key skills, for operatives, supervisors, technicians and craft workers. It will create and test competency models, and it will perform an appraisal of training needs through the examination of a representative sample of employees at the four levels. Necessary qualifications and skills for those who work in waste water and sludge plants will be determined. Appropriate programmes for training assessors, tutors and instructors will be developed. Treatment work and the manpower implications of waste water and sludge operations will be mapped in order to determine the shortfalls in the training offer. Consequently, consideration will be given to the development of appropriate modules, either in the form of an in-house product or with the assistance of local or national or EC training providers.

PRODUCTS
The final result of the project will be the development of a training programme for trainers, including recommendations for the technical training of trainers. Materials, performance standards, modular training programmes and a feasibility study on the development of open and distance learning packages will be produced.
