SYLLABUS
The Occupational Skills Training program is designed to prepare students for entry level
employment in the area identified and agreed upon for their individual training. Students earn
from 1 to 16 credits per term depending on their hours of participation.
Major assignments include:
• Completion of an individualized course of study
• Completion of student timesheets on a regular basis
• Active participation in all aspects of the training program
• Comply with the rules and responsibilities identified by the funding agency, the
consultant, the training plan, and the training site
Intended Outcomes for the Course:
• Use industry-specific vocabulary and tools effectively
• Use professional behaviors appropriate to the work place such as punctuality,
attendance, cooperation, teamwork, and respect
• Understand and apply the safety standards of the work site and the industry
• Use written and oral communication appropriate for the occupation or industry
• Use workplace math skills appropriate for the occupation or industry
• Be prepared to enter the occupation of choice with entry-level skills
Grading:
This course is offered on a pass/no pass basis. A grade of P represents satisfactory
achievement which would have been graded C or better on the regular grading scale, but is
given instead of a letter grade.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a
passing score based on attendance, attitude, and progress in training as rated by the on-site
instructor. Timeliness of reporting by student and trainer may also affect the grade for the
course. A Monthly Timesheet & Trainer Report is completed by the on-site instructor. Student
Activity reports are completed by the student and submitted to the PCC Skills Training
Coordinator regularly. Periodic visits by a PCC Skills Training Coordinator are made with a
written progress report generated.
