Developing ACurriculUM
Use the DACUM Process to conduct Job Analysis. DACUM is very effective, efficient, & low cost: 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 job. DACUM makes that connection for you.
The DACUM process for job/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. That means you get accurate information directly from the people who know and do the job. 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 in the occupation. This information provides a solid foundation for new program development or for updating an existing program.
