Abstract	This document contains the report of a project conducted to make the concept of a world-class work force a reality. The project was intended to design a comprehensive strategy to link elements from the state's existing vocational-technical education, job training, adult education, tech prep, and apprenticeship programs with the components of SCANS (Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills). For this pilot project, the demand occupation of electrical worker (electrician) was selected. The college partnered with an electrical apprenticeship program to develop curriculum applications for reading for information, writing, applied mathematics, listening, teamwork, locating information, and applied technology. Activities conducted included the following: occupational research, defining workplace skills, conducting job observations, creating a representative group or local subject-matter experts, conducting a profile session, developing a list of critical entry-level tasks, selecting workplace skills to be infused into existing curricula, identifying on-the-job behaviors associated with each skill, determining the level of workplace skills required to perform each job task, and developing a profile document summarizing the results. The curriculum development project resulted in four products that are included in this document: (1) an Occupational Profile Handbook; (2) a workplace skills Curriculum Review and Enhancements proposal; (3) a Faculty Development Plan; and (4) Licensure, Testing, and Certification strategies. The document also contains 17 appendixes of project documents, including task analyses, job skills, press clippings, and a competency profile for electricians. (KC)
