Developing NOS and QP for identified job roles 2. Approach and Methodology The approach for the assignment is based on key elements namely - analysis of macro environment of infrastructure equipment industry, identification of key stakeholders and employers and subsequent consultation in different geographies. This was followed by undertaking occupational analysis and development of occupational maps. Subsequently, functional analysis and development of functional maps for job roles was undertaken, which led to the development of National Occupation Standards and Qualification Pack (NOS-QP). 3 | P a g e Thekey elements of the approach and methodology for the assignment are outlined below: Element 1:Sector Profiling aimed to analyze the macro environment of infrastructure equipment industry covering global trends, size and profile, geographical distribution, growth trends, existing workforce composition and career paths, existing manpower channels and future skill requirements. Representative sampling was undertaken for capturing industry insights and generating the occupational mapping and functional analysis. The sample covered large, medium and small industry players covering organizations operating in manufacturing, leasing, trading, operating and financing of infrastructure equipment in different geographies. Element 2:This involved identifying existing unique job roles, career pathways and current employment pattern in infrastructure equipment sector. This was carried out through detailed interactions with the industry partners. Element 3: This included analysis of area of work and identification of function that a workman performs and have a clear purpose and outcome valuable to employer Element 4: This comprised of writing and assigning Unique Reference ID to NOS and QP as per NSDC NOS/QP protocol and format. Element 5: This would encompass industry validations of the QPs developed and creation of a sustainability plan for the same. 2.1. Occupational Map: Occupational mapping is the first step towards the development of NOS and is done in order to identify the various Occupations within the Industry and distinct job roles that exist within each occupation. For the current scope of the project, the key outcome of this exercise is the 4 | P a g e identification of 19 unique Job Roles for which Functional Analysis and NOS are currently being developed.
