FOREWORD

TheCanadianCouncilofDirectorsofApprenticeship(CCDA)recognizesthisNational

OccupationalAnalysisasthenationalstandardfortheoccupationofIndustrialElectrician.

Background

ThefirstNationalConferenceonApprenticeshipinTradesandIndustries,heldinOttawain1952,recommendedthatthefederalgovernmentberequestedtocooperatewithprovincialandterritorialapprenticeshipcommitteesandofficialsinpreparinganalysesofanumberofskilledoccupations.Tothisend,HumanResourcesandSkillsDevelopmentCanada(HRSDC)sponsorsaprogram,undertheguidanceoftheCCDA,todevelopaseriesofNationalOccupationalAnalyses(NOAs).

TheNOAshavethefollowingobjectives:

todescribeandgroupthetasksperformedbyskilledworkers;

toidentifywhichtasksareperformedineveryprovinceandterritory;

todevelopinstrumentsforuseinthepreparationofInterprovincialRedSealExaminationsandcurriculafortrainingleadingtothecertificationofskilledworkers;

tofacilitatethemobilityofapprenticesandskilledworkersinCanada;and,

tosupplyemployers,employees,associations,industries,traininginstitutionsandgovernmentswithanalysesofoccupations.
