Know the Work. Build the Workforce.
What does success on the job actually require?
Too often, training programs, credentials, job descriptions, and career pathways are built on assumptions. DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) replaces assumptions with insight gathered directly from expert workers.
Using a structured, facilitated occupational analysis process, Wood Creek Facilitation helps employers, educators, workforce boards, and economic development organizations identify the duties, tasks, knowledge, skills, tools, and emerging competencies required for success in today's workplace.
The result is a validated occupational profile that becomes the foundation for workforce strategy, curriculum development, certifications, career pathways, apprenticeships, and talent development initiatives.
