ABSTRACT
This Ohio Competency Analysis Profile (OCAP), derived
from a modified Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) process, is a
comprehensive and verified employer competency list for a welding
program. It contains units (with or without subunits), competencies,
and competency builders that identify the occupational, academic, and
employability skills needed to enter this occupational area. Within
the outline are three levels of items: core, advancing, and futuring.
Core items are essential to entry-level employment and are required
to be taught and will be the basis for questions on the state
vocational competency tests. Advancing items are needed to advance in
remain in
a given occupation. Futuring items are heeded to enter and
a given occupation 3 to 4 years from now. This OCAP contains 10
units: (1) safety and housekeeping; (2) materials science,
inspection, testing; (3) blueprints; (4) oxyfuel welding; (5)
shielded metal arc welding; (6) thermal cutting; (7) gas metal arc
welding; (8) gas tungsten arc welding; (9) flux core arc welding; and
(10) employability skills. (YLB)

What is OCAP?
"A comprehensive and verified employer competency list will be developed and kept current for each
program." This is the second objective of Imperative 3 of the Action Planfor Accelerating the Modernization
of Vocational Education: Ohio's Future at Work. Ohio's Competency Analysis Profile (OCAP) listsare the
Division of Vocational and Career Education's response to that objective. OCAP lists evolve from a modified
DACUM process involving business, industry, labor, and community agency representatives from through-
out Ohio. The OCAP process is directed by the Vocational Instructional Materials Laboratory at The Ohio
State University's Center on Education and Training for Employment.
Districts may add as many units, subunits, competencies, and competency builders as desired to reflect
local employment needs, trends, and srilalties. Local advisory committees should be actively involved in
the identification and verification of addiL lnal items. Using OCAP lists, instructors will bc Able to formulate
their courses of study and monitor cemne ency gains via the new competency testing program.
The Employability Skills portion of this list was verified by the following employer panel:
