Industry Competency Model Initiative
Industry partners collaborate with ETA to develop and maintain dynamic models of the foundation and technical competencies that are necessary in economically vital sectors of the American economy
These models and tools for using them are posted on the Competency Model Clearinghouse www.careeronestop.org/competencymodel/

Competency Models
Q. What is a competency?A. The capability to apply a set of related knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully perform functions or tasks
Q. What is a competency model?A. A collection of competencies that together define successful performance in a particular work setting.

Why Competency Models?
Competency Models are a resource. They can be used to: Identify specific employer skill needs Develop competency-based curricula and training models Develop industry-defined performance indicators Create certifications Develop resources for career exploration and guidance
Who uses them? Industry leaders Human resources professionals Public workforce development professionals Labor organizations Educators Economic developers
Competency Models
Competency: “…a specific, identifiable, definable, and measurable skill or characteristic that is essential for the performance of an activity within a specific business or industry context.”
A competency model is a clear description of what a worker needs to know and be able to do – the knowledge, skills, and abilities – to perform well in a specific job, occupation, or industry.6

Competency Model Applications
How are industry competency models used?
14
Uses for Competency Models
• Communicate Industry Needs • Career Exploration and Guidance • Career Paths, Ladders, and Lattices • Workforce Program Planning & Labor Pool
Analysis • Curriculum Evaluation, Planning, and
Development • Human Resource Services• Certification, Licensure, and Assessment
Development• Sector Initiatives
The Competency Models Help Educators by:
• Providing a framework for education and training curricula
• Reducing the course and program curriculum development time
• Eliminating unneeded redundancy across courses
• Improving instructional materials• Identifying gaps in current training
offerings
The Competency Model Helps Business by:
• Providing a common language for the Industry
• Giving a standardized terminology for describing what Middle-skilled workers do
• Offering a framework for standardizing job titles and positions
• Providing a tool to use for staff recruiting and development Recruiting – describing what workers do Performance management – communicating roles and
responsibilities Staff Development – serving as a plan or checklist for
professional development training

Crosscutting Industry-wide Tier
22
Tiers 4: Industry Wide Competencies
1. Cybersecurity Technology: The knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to understand the purpose and function of cybersecurity technology, including tools and systems.
2. Information Assurance: The standards, procedures, and applications used to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information and information systems.
3. Risk Management: The systems, tools, and concepts used to minimize the risk to an organization’s cyberspace and prevent a cybersecurity incident.
4. Incident Detection: The knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to identify threats or incidents.
5. Incident Response and Remediation: The knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to respond to and remediate an incident, as well as restore functionality to the system or infrastructure.
23
Tiers 5: Industry Sector Functional Areas
1. Securely Provision Systems: Specialty Areas responsible for conceptualizing, designing, and building secure information technology (IT) systems, with responsibility for some aspect of the systems' development.
2. Operate and Maintain IT Security: Specialty Areas responsible for providing the support, administration, and maintenance necessary to ensure effective and efficient information technology (IT) system performance and security.
3. Protect and Defend from Threats: Specialty Areas responsible for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating threats to internal information technology (IT) systems or networks.
4. Investigate Threats: Specialty Areas responsible for investigating cyber events or crimes of information technology (IT) systems, networks, and digital evidence.
5. Collect Information and Operate Cybersecurity Processes: Specialty Areas responsible for specialized denial and deception operations and collection of cybersecurity information that may be used to develop intelligence.
6. Analyze Information: Specialty Areas responsible for highly specialized review and evaluation of incoming cybersecurity information to determine its usefulness for intelligence.
7. Oversee and Govern Cybersecurity Work: Specialty Areas responsible for providing leadership, management, direction, or development and advocacy so that the organization may effectively conduct cybersecurity work.

Crosscutting, Industry-wide means:
Models are resources to build on, not end products.
Models include major industry principles and unique aspects.
What makes this industry different from other industries?
What commonalities should everyone in the field know?
What key industry technologies are there?What are the key components of the culture of
the industry?
25
Crosscutting, Industry-wide means:
Models represent broad industry level, not particular occupations.
The models don’t describe a standard of behavior.Every worker doesn’t have every skill, or every skill
at the same level.Shows what worker requirements for the industry
are shared among occupations within the sector.Models aren’t intended to replace existing
occupational information. Models support workforce development training,
and are typically focused on the post-secondary level.
