PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
Learners who are assessed as competent against this unit standard will be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the construction industry, its stakeholders, relevant regulations, legislation and skills development initiatives within the industry. The learner will further be able to identify how these concepts impact on his/her role as an employee within the industry and how the different elements are to be applied in his/her specific work context to enhance performance and promote career development.
This competence lays the foundation for the development of core masonry competencies and underpins the other masonry competencies. It contributes to the development of a professional community of Masonry practitioners who understand the challenges and opportunities of the South African construction context. The contribution to The National Skills Development Strategy is the key developmental interface between learners and new competencies to be achieved. |
