Skill standards are technical benchmarks that specify the knowledge, abilities and attitudes needed to perform work with quality, following the correct procedures and on time.

Each standard is broken down into tasks, and the knowledge · abilities · attributes required for each task are then defined. The structure of skill standards is set out in the Guidelines for Developing Skill Standards.

Objectives

• To serve as the basis for developing skills training curricula, skill testing and issuing skill certificates, and for upgrading the skills of the Lao workforce so that its quality gradually approaches regional and international skill standards
• To expand the development and revision of skill standards with the participation of society, moving towards the recognition of skills at national, regional and international levels
• To translate skill standards into skills training curricula and curricula into training modules, and to organise skills training

A skills training curriculum is a document that defines the objectives, goals, scope of essential knowledge, theory and hands-on practice, training duration, target trainees, training methods and assessment, in line with the skill standards for each level and each occupation, so as to ensure that trainees have the knowledge, skills and work attitudes that meet the needs of the labour market at each stage.

Characteristics: a flexible curriculum whose content can be adjusted and expanded to suit changing conditions and labour market needs, in line with skill standards, in order to develop a workforce that keeps pace with modern science and technology.

The curriculum structure and training module structure are set out in the Agreement on Skills Training Curricula.

The Skill Standards and Training Curriculum Development Department manages the recognition of the National Skill Standards and of enterprise/association standards — recording the sector · name of the recognised standard/occupation · name of the enterprise · number of recognitions · recognition date and number of participants. There are 2 types of training curricula: public-sector curricula and enterprise/association curricula
