Make DACUM Work for You - Become an OSU
Certified DACUM Facilitator!
 As
a manager or developer of occupational training programs, you've got to know
what the experts are doing on the work site. DACUM makes that connection for
you.
The DACUM process for occupational analysis involves expert
workers- the local men and women with reputations for being "the best"
at their jobs. These workers tell us what they do and how they do it. Their
descriptions are in the language of the occupation. That means we get the
straight story from the people on the job, the ones who know. In turn, your
instructors and administrators get information that's hard to come by. And when
the process is completed, you've got a complete DACUM chart - a graphic profile
of the duties and tasks required in an occupation developed by expert workers from the
occupation.
