Ethiopian Occupational Standards
Introduction

About the Standards

Ethiopia has embarked on a process of reforming its TVET-System. Within the policies and strategies of the Ethiopian Government, technology transformation – by using international standards and international best practices as the basis, and, adopting, adapting and verifying them in the Ethiopian context – is a pivotal element.

TVET is given an important role with regard to technology transfer. The new paradigm in the outcome-based TVET system is the orientation at the current and anticipated future demand of the economy and the labor market.

The Ethiopian Occupational Standards (EOS) are a core element of the Ethiopian National TVET-Strategy and an important factor within the context of the National TVET-Qualification Framework (NTQF). They are national Ethiopia standards, which define the occupational requirements and expected outcome related to a specific occupation without taking TVET delivery into account.

A Unit of Competence describes a distinct work activity. It is documented in a standard format that comprises:

  • Occupational title, NTQF level
  • Unit title
  • Unit code
  • Unit descriptor
  • Elements and Performance criteria
  • Variables and Range statement
  • Evidence guide
