1THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR CAREERS IN THE SKILLED TRADES ANDTECHNOLOGYSCC is currently working with Employment and Social Development Canada(ESDC) in order to bring awareness to the importance of Essential Skills that areabsolutely crucial for success in the workforce. Part of this ongoing initiativerequires the integration and identification of Essential Skills in contestdescriptions, projects, and project documents. The next phase and veryimportant aspect of our Essential Skills (ES) initiative is to provide an ES reportcard to each competitor at the Skills Canada National Competition. Thepurpose of the ES report card is to inform the competitor about their currentlevel of essential skills based on their competition scores. With this knowledge,the competitor will be made aware which essential skill may requireimprovement. Full implementation is expected in the next Skills Canada NationalCompetition.The following 9 skills have been identified and validated as key essential skillsfor the workplace in the legend below:1Numeracy, 2Oral Communication, 3Working with Others, 4ContinuousLearning, 5Reading Text, 6Writing, 7Thinking, 8Document Use, 9DigitalThese essential skills have been identified in section 2.4 and/or 3.2 of yourContest Description and if applicable, in your Project and all other supportingproject documents.22.1CONTEST INTRODUCTIONDescription of the associated work role(s) or n/careers/construction/welding/2.2Purpose of the challengeAssess the contestant’s ability in the trade of welding.
