FOREWORD
The National Skills Standards Authority (NSSA), formed in 2007 under the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security (MOLES) has been facilitating the development of Occupational Competency Standards for the assessment and qualification of the Myanmar workforce. The NSSA initially formed 14 Sectorial Committees comprising of representatives from relevant line ministries and the private sector to, among others, develop the Occupational Competency Standards which would be the basis of assessment and awarding of certificates to workers. Thus far, the 14 Sectorial Committees have developed 173 Occupational Competency Standards at four levels for the 14 economic sectors, of which 93 Occupational Competency Standards were approved in principle by the Cabinet. In 2014, the NSSA with the assistance of GIZ and Swisscontact has started implementation of the ‘Fast Track Skills Assessment and Certification Pilot Project’ with the aim to certify existing skilled workers at National Certificate Level 1. For the pilot project, Expert Groups were formed to review the NSSA Occupational Competency Standards for 25 priority occupations. The National Occupational Competency Standard for Cabinet Maker NC Level-1 is the outcome of such review. The review was undertaken by professionals and experts nominated by the Wood-based Sectorial Committee. This revised standard was used by the NSSA during the pilot project undertaken from July to December 2014. Skills assessment events were actually undertaken and certificates were awarded to qualified candidates. The Cabinet Maker Level -1 Standard (Version No.1) contains ten (10) competency units, comprising of six (6) units under Technical Competency, three (3) units under Industrial Competency and one (1) under Basic Competency. This standard can be used for training and assessment leading to certification by NSSA. The Expert Group who reviewed the standard was composed of the following:
U Maung Maung Lin Factory Manager, Wood-based Industry
U Than Htike Htay Manager (engineering) Myanmar Timber Enterprise
Daw Myat Myat Myo Assistant Manager, Engineering Department, Myanmar Timber Enterprise
U Naing Lin Head of Profession, Cabinet Maker CVT
U Zaw Min Htut Deputy Head of Profession, Cabinet Maker, CVT
The NSSA and the Wood-based Sectorial Committee, hereby release the said Occupational Competency Standard of Cabinet Maker for adoption by the Wood Working Industry. Chairperson Chairperson National Skills Standards Authority Wood-based Sectorial Committee
