The President's
High Growth Job Training Initiative identified industry competency

successfully perform at work, in school and in everyday life. A competency
model is useful to organize the competencies needed to perform in a particular

foundation for developing curriculum and selecting training materials, and for
licensure and certification requirements, job descriptions, recruiting and
hiring, and performance
reviews. More
