L.-33004/99 The Gazette of India CG-DL-E-26062024-254942 EXTRAORDINARY PART III—Section 4 PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY No. 421] NEW DELHI, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2024/JYAISHTHA 29, 1946 NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING NOTIFICATION New Delhi, the 3rd March, 2023 F. No. 42001/02/2022/NCVET.—Guidelines for Development, Approval & Usage of National Occupational Standards (NOS) & Micro Credentials (MC) PART - 1 GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPMENT, APPROVAL & USAGE OF NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS (NOS) Introduction 1. The National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, 2015 reiterates the ideaof "One Nation One Standard” to ensure that national standards and quality for skilling are globally aligned and learning outcomes are consistent. Standards-based training and assessment shifts training away from traditional theory-based approaches to practical delivery and assessment, an approach that emphasises upon the achievement and demonstration of skills required to perform at a specified standard demanded by industry. 2. Occupational Standards including related training standards and assessments are an essential link between workplace employment requirements and human capital development (i.e. education and training programs) that affect individual citizens throughout their life span. Occupational standards can make a major contribution to the design of high-quality education and training programs by ensuring they are directly linked to the needs of the workplace and overall economy. National Occupational Standards 3. National Occupational Standards (NOS) specify the standard of performance an individual must achieve when carrying out a function in the workplace, together with the knowledge and understanding they need to meet that standard consistently. Essentially NOSs are evidence-based benchmarks of good practice that have been agreed to by a representative sample of employers and other key stakeholders. Each NOS defines one key function collatingthe related performance criteria in relation to the specific function in the job role concerned. Puttogether, these NOSs form a Qualification which is used to train learners for a particular job role. International Practices 4. NOSs have been developed by many nations and carry with them different names, such as National Occupational Standards (NOS) in the United Kingdom, National Competency Standards (NCS) in the Republic of Korea, Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) in Singapore. 5. In UK, National Occupational Standards (NOS) are developed by Standard Setting Organisations (SSO) who consult with employers and other stakeholders across each of the UKnations (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England). This consultation process allows anyspecific requirements to be considered by each nation and the result is a set of NOS that are suitable for use across the UK. The NOS, which are set out in a common format, are approved on a four-nation basis and the content is scrutinised by Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) Accreditation. Each NOS has a published date stating when it was approved, and the most current NOS are listed in this database. There is also an anticipated review date which is used as a guide to when they require reviewing and feedback from stakeholders is taken to influencewhen this is commissioned. Although NOS are developed as individual measures of competence, they are grouped in Suites which identify the sector they relate to and there are approx. 900 suites at present, with almost 23,000 separate NOS. They cover a wide range of sectors. 6. In Canada, the development and maintenance of each NOS is led by a National Occupational Standard Development Committee (NOSDC) made up of subject-matter experts from various groups across Canada, including industry, labour and education. NOS development committees undertake a regular review (five years) of the NOS to ensure they remain current and relevant to industry. Further, Training Standards based on NOSs are developed which are called National Occupational Training Standards (NOTS). NOTS in Canada provide the learning outcomes and learning objectives that guide quality training, curriculum design and development. 7. In the United States of America, the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) is a free online database that contains hundreds of job definitions to help students, job seekers, businesses and workforce development professionals to understand today's world of work in the United States. It was developed under the sponsorship of the US Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA) through a grant to the North Carolina Employment Security Commission (now part of the NC Commerce Department) during the 1990s. It describes occupations in terms of the knowledge, skills, and abilities required as well as how the work is performed in terms of tasks, work activities, and other descriptors. 8. NOSs have been generally defined as formal documents that describe the requirements for individual qualification to enter and perform successfully in a specific occupation (Heneman &Ledford, 1998). NOSs are typically part of broader national workforce development efforts (Lee & Jacobs). However, with the mapping between various international standards, occupations & frameworks and development of regional qualification frameworks the NOSs are gradually assuming an international identity & recognition. Purpose of NOS 9. Currently, NOSs are used for two main purposes namely, for development of unit based functional competency w.r.t. job roles at different skill qualification levels and enabling the curriculum for the delivery of training; and to develop assessment instruments and tools for theassessment and certification regarding the competency of learners. 10. Although NOS are often used to build qualifications and training programmes, sectors, organisations or individuals can use NOS as the platform for almost any other aspect of human resource management and development, for example: a. workforce planning b. performance appraisal and development systems c. job descriptions d. workplace coaching e. reflective practice NOS in India 11. To reap the demographic dividend India possesses and to cater to the evolving & rapidly rising demand of skilled personnel in the industry, the focus of Vocational Education & Training(VET) & Skilling policy shifted to industry led short term training programs in the early 21st century. Institutional mechanisms were built in the form of National Skill DevelopmentCorporation & Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) who pioneered the development of occupational standards in India. At the same time concept of National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) was evolving which led to the establishment of the National Skill Development Agency(NSDA) in 2013 for implementation of NSQF. Various concepts forming the basis of VET & skills policy like Qualification & NOS etc. along with a process of development & approval oftraining standards were formalized and notified during this period. National Skills Qualification Framework & NOS: 12. The National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) organizes qualifications according to a series of levels of knowledge, skills and aptitude. These levels are defined in terms of learning outcomes which the learner must possess regardless of whether they were acquired through formal, non-formal or informal learning. In that sense, the NSQF is a qualityassurance framework. It is, therefore, a nationally integrated education and competency based skill framework that provides for multiple pathways, horizontal as well as vertical, both withinvocational education and vocational training and among vocational education, vocational training, general education and technical education, thus linking one level of learning to anothercorresponding or higher level. This enables a person to acquire desired competency levels, transit to the job market and, at an opportune time, return for acquiring additional skills to further upgrade his/her competencies. 13. Currently, National Council for Vocational Education & Training (NCVET) which has been established by Govt. of India as a national regulator for VET & Skills by subsuming the functions and responsibilities of erstwhile National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) and National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT), anchors the NSQF. NCVET approves qualifications for NSQF alignment submitted by various awarding bodies, through an apex Committee called the National Skills Qualification Committee (NSQC). 14. Qualification means a formal outcome of assessment & validation process which is obtained when a competent body determines that an individual has achieved learning outcomesto given standards. This outcome is actualized in the form of a formal Certificate. A Qualification consists of various NOSs which make a set of competencies bundled together against a job role/course. While earlier the qualifications of only SSCs were NOS based, otherABs are also now moving to the NOS based system. 15. Example of a Qualification & commensurate NOSs: a) Qualification Name: Food Analyst b) Job Description: A food analyst is responsible for conducting qualitative and quantitativetests to determine the physical and chemical properties of food. They are also responsible for recording and compiling the test results, preparing charts and reports as well as preparingand incubating plates with cultures. They define quality assurance targets and procedures and see to their maintenance and continued improvement by reviewing targets, protocols, supplies, processes, equipment, and technologies for quality standards. c) NOSS List: i. Ensure preparedness for testing process ii. Carry out chemical, physical, microbiological, and sensory testing of food iii. Carry out compilation and record observation iv. Implement health and safety practices at the workplace V. Carry out analysis of packaging material used for food Components of NOS 16. NOS describes occupational competence detailing performance outcomes w.r.t. the function. Competency is the consistent application of knowledge and skill to the standard of performance required in the workplace. It embodies the ability to transfer and apply skills and knowledge to new situations and environments. Competency focuses on the outcome of the application of skills and knowledge as opposed to the activity undertaken. a) Competence and Skill: NOS describes occupational competence. It is important not to confuse occupational competence and skill. While people need skills to be competent, competence is about applying skills (and knowledge) to achieve a work function. Weldingis a skill. Repairing a broken plough (which involves welding) is a function valued by the farmer. Welding in itself has no purpose for an employer or customer. Repairing a ploughdoes. Being able to add and subtract is a skill. Producing a profit and loss account is a work function. You need one to do the other, but they are not the same thing. Therefore, a NOSwhile describing a competence also enumerates the underlying skills required for acquisition of said competence. b) Knowledge and Understanding: NOS describes knowledge and understanding needed to undertake a particular task or job to a nationally recognized level of competence. The focusis on what the person needs to be able to do, as well as what he/she must know and understand to work effectively. Such knowledge and understanding of facts, principles andmethods ensures that the person measures up to the expected standards at related job rolesand work contexts in organizations. Levels of NOS: 17. The National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) is composed of eight levels, each representing a different level of complexity, knowledge and autonomy required to demonstratethe competence commensurate for that level. Level one of the framework represents the lowestcomplexity while level eight represents the highest complexity. The levels are defined by criteria expressed as learning outcomes. Over a lifetime of learning, individuals will move fromlower to higher levels or across levels of qualifications as they take on new learning and acquirenew skills. 18. All the NSQF aligned and approved qualifications and their respective NOSs are peggedat a certain NSQF level based on a set of descriptors. These level descriptors are designed to allow broad comparisons to be made between outcomes of learning. However, it is not the casethat every qualification/NOS will or should have all of the characteristics set out in the level descriptors. The positioning of two or more qualifications/NOS at the same level only indicatesthat they are broadly comparable in terms of the general level of outcome. It does not indicate that they necessarily have the same purpose or content. Six set of level descriptors are as follows: a) Professional Theoretical Knowledge b) Professional and Technical Skills/ Expertise c) Employment Readiness & Entrepreneurship d) Skills & Mind-set e) Broad Learning Outcomes f) Responsibility 19. Level of a Qualification is the average of levels of all its constituent NOSs. Ideally the level of the core NOSs should not be lower than the overall level of the Qualification. Need for NOS based Approval 20. With the advent of new policies like recognition of multiple awarding bodies, cross sectoral & multi- sectoral skills, adoption of qualifications, a need has been felt to provide moreflexibility in design of the qualifications. Moreover, standalone NOSs can be used in upskillingand as bridge courses to meet the needs of the rapidly changing job requirements. Following are the major reasons establishing requirement of NOS approval & alignment: a. Facilitating Cross Sectoral & Multi Sectoral Qualifications design: With new concepts of designing of qualifications for job roles catering to multiple sectors and/or multiple job roles there is an inherent need to approve individual NOSs which can be used as building blocks for such qualifications. b. Facilitating use of available knowledge: ABs are required to design & develop NOSs as part of с. their qualifications even if such NOSs of some other AB already exist. There is a requirement of NOS approval to allow easy adoption of NOSS. d. Facilitating Up Skilling: For upskilling mostly smaller unit of competencies are required which are not available for implementation as of now. NOS approval shall provide ABs, industries, employers and learners with the opportunity to choose unitof competencies as per requirement. e. Facilitating Lifelong Learning: With flexible options of learning a person can choose small training modules easily which will not affect his/her work life and thusfacilitate lifelong learning with ease. f. Facilitating Multiple Entry & Exit Pathways: NOSs can be used to bridge variousgaps while moving within and from VET & skill to academics or vice versa. A personcan also earn credits as required for entry into a program without having to pursue and complete a whole qualification. Individual NOS certification will also facilitate aperson to exit skill training in between and resume it at a later stage to complete the remaining portion only. g. Better channelization of resources: With availability of smaller unit of competencies as NOSs, industry, academia, employers and learners will have the option to only address their specific requirement and not implement a whole qualification. This will save time, efforts & money of all the stakeholders involved including the learners. 21. In consideration of the above and to keep pace with the ever-agile digital world, these Guidelines lay down the development and approval policy for NOSs to meet the industry needsof skilling, up skilling and reskilling. Types of NOS 22. Currently there are following types of NOSS: a) Applicability wise: i. Generic/Horizontal NOS – Applicable across sectors & job roles as commoncompetencies ⅱ. Domain NOS – Applicable specifically to a job role or related job roles in a sector b) Structure wise: i. Mandatory NOS: Implementation is mandatory as part of a qualification ⅱ. Optional NOS: Implementation is optional as part of a qualification c) Approval wise: i. Standalone NOS - Approved as standalone NOS by NSQC. This can either be aGeneric or Domain NOS. ii. NOS as Part of Qualification – Not Approved individually but is a part of anapproved & aligned qualification. NOS Approval Mechanism: 23. As explained earlier, the NSQF alignment and approval of qualifications submitted by various awarding bodies, is done through an apex Committee called the National SkillsQualification Committee (NSQC), anchored at NCVET. Currently the NSQF alignment and approval is carried out only for Qualifications (corresponding to a job role) as a whole and not for individual NOSS. 24. However, henceforth approval and alignment of NOSs with NSQF will also be undertakenby the NSQC. As mentioned in para 22 (c), there are two types of NOSs i.e. Standalone NOSs and NOS which are part of a qualification. Following will be the approval mechanism for theseNOSs: a) NOS developed as Standalone NOS: i. An NCVET recognized Awarding Body shall be eligible to design & develop NOSs. Standalone NOSs can be used in upskilling or as bridge courses, amongst others. NOSs shall be developed in consultation with the industry/employer. ii. A standard format for submission of individual/standalone NOSs for NSQC approval, detailing the various information required with respect to the NOS is attached asAnnexure I. iii. Industry Validation: There can be following scenarios: Ο If a NOS is developed for specific requirement of an industry/ employer, reasoned justification by the industry/ employer concerned would be required. Ο In case of NOS for academic purpose for entry/ equivalence through a bridge course, the regulator concerned would decide on need basis. Ο In case of other NOSs, industry validations as required for standard NSQF alignment process of a qualification shall be applicable. iv. Once approved the individual NOSs shall be uploaded on NQR for various stakeholders. V. NOSs shall also have a validity of three years after which the submitting body will be required to resubmit the NOS for revision as is currently applicable to the NSQF alignedand approved Qualifications. vi. Individual certification in a standalone NOS shall be allowed. vii. NOS shall be developed by the recognized entities in the sector they are recognized and shall be implemented in the territorial geography for which they have been recognized by NCVET. Vill. It will be the responsibility of the Awarding Body to develop the learning material/ curriculum for the NOS. ix. The developer Awarding Body (one who has developed the NOS) may also use the approved standalone NOS while developing a new Qualification or revising an old qualification. However, if any other Awarding Body desires to utilize a standalone NOSof any other developer Awarding Body, it shall have to adopt the NOS as per the provisions mentioned in the NCVET Adoption Guidelines. b) NOS which are a part of an approved and aligned Qualification: These NOSs are a part of an already approved and aligned qualification. However, they have not been approved as a standalone NOS by NCVET. If any developer Awarding Body(one who has developed the qualification) desires to get such a NOS approved as a standalone NOS, the same process and format as applicable in case of a Standalone NOS shall be applicable. However, since this NOS already forms part of a NSQF aligned & approved qualification and has been scrutinized as part of qualification during its NSQC approval process, the industry validations needed in such cases shall be the same as required for revision of qualifications (with/without changes). Except this, all otherprovisions and norms as applicable for approval of a Standalone NOS as mentioned in para24 (a) shall apply. Duration of NOS: 25. NOS shall be developed for the duration of minimum 30 hours each in line with the National Credit Framework (NCrF) & standardization policy of NCVET. One credit under NCrF is earned for 30 hours of learning, therefore, an individual NOS shall carry one credit with30 hours' duration. The unit lower than 30 hours will be a micro-credential, for which separateguidelines are being prepared. Also, NOSs with higher duration of 45 and 60 hours may be approved by the NSQC where there is justified requirement. Repository of NOS: 26. A repository of NOSs on National Qualification Register (NQR) shall be developed andmaintained by NCVET. Adoption of NOS: 27. Adoption of NOSs will be permitted as per the NCVET Adoption Guidelines. The adopting body will apply for adoption of NOS as per procedures and format as prescribed underthese Guidelines. A recognized ABs can adopt both types of NOSs i.e. Standalone NOSs and NOSs which form part of an already aligned and approved qualification. The adoption of such NOSs may be undertaken for either developing a new qualification or to use as a standalone NOS for upskilling etc. 28. Flexibility of 20% shall be provided to the Adopting Body to cater to its local & specificrequirements. However, the Adopting Body shall provide reasoned justification for suchadoption along with industry validations, where applicable, as under NCVET Adoption Guidelines. This shall facilitate use of an already available NOS by all NCVET recognized ABs, thereby reducing the duplication of efforts & resources. Assessment and Certification of NOS: 29. Assessment of NOS is to be conducted through NCVET recognized Assessment Agencyon-boarded by the Awarding Body implementing the NOS; and certification shall be carried outby such NCVET recognized Awarding Bodies. However, Dual Category Awarding Bodies mayundertake both assessment & certification of the NOSs. In addition, following shall also be applicable with respect to NOS certification: i. For NOSs approved as Standalone by NSQC: Individual certification of NOS shall be allowed. ii. For NOSs which are not approved as Standalone but are part of an already approved & aligned Qualification: Individual certification of NOS/(s) shall not be allowed except where it is adopted as per NCVET Adoption Guidelines specifically for standalone usagelike upskilling, RPL. 30. Each NOS shall be creditised as per the provisions of the National Credit Framework (NCrF). Individual credits can be stored digitally in Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) and may further be redeemed or clubbed together as provided by NCrF. Structure of a NOS & Format for NSQC Approval: 31. A NOS may be structured with following as its basic components: i. NOS title ii. Description iii. Scope iv. Elements and Performance criteria V. Knowledge, Understanding and Skill A detailed format with definitions & explanation is attached as Annexure I. COL. SANTOSH KUMAR, Secy.
