◊ requiring coordination and integration of job tasks with a colleague or co-worker (partners may or may not be in close physical proximity) ◊ requiring coordination and integration of job tasks with a team (team members may or may not be in close physical proximity) Computer Use Computer use refers to the kinds of computer applications used in the job. In the workplace, workers use: • word processing applications • graphics software • databases • spreadsheets • bookkeeping, billing or accounting software • statistical analysis software • computer assisted design software • email • the Internet • desktop publishing software • computer controlled equipment • other applications such as GPS receivers, digital maps, sound and video editing software Some considerations: ◊ Does the worker have to understand the software in any kind of detail or is it merely a matter of inputting data into an existing template or following a small number of simple steps to complete a task? ◊ Must the worker have some understanding of the software package and its range of options (be able to “move around” in the package and use a number of the features to complete common tasks)? ◊ Must the worker have a deeper understanding of one or more software packages in order to complete a wide range of tasks? ◊ Must the worker be an expert user – able to integrate functions, set up systems, teach computer use to others? ◊ Must the worker be able to assess IT needs, design and write software, design networks and IT systems? Hardware and system skills: ◊ Does the worker require an understanding of software or are tasks restricted to connecting equipment, cleaning equipment, following user instructions for set-up? (Heavy user of technical support.) ◊ Is the worker expected to complete trouble-free installation of peripherals and related software, run disk de-fragmentation and other maintenance programs, run automatic upgrade processes? (Calls technical support when things go wrong.)
◊ Does the worker assess work-related computing needs, suggest appropriate hardware and software, troubleshoot peripherals, install pug and play components such as hard drives? (Light user of technical support.) ◊ Does the worker diagnose and repair problems with computer hardware and related software, troubleshoot networks, assemble workstations for specific applications? (May be the technical support person.) ◊ Does the worker assess IT system needs, design IT systems, troubleshoot systems, evaluate system performance? (Assesses the need for technical support.) Continuous Learning This refers to the requirements for workers to participate in ongoing skills and knowledge upgrading. Some considerations: ◊ does the worker know how he/she learns best? ◊ does the worker know how to access continuous learning resources? ◊ does the worker know which learning options to pursue? ◊ is the worker responsible for his/her own upgrading or does the workplace participate? ◊ what is the frequency of upgrading required and how difficult is it to find information on new processes, theories and technologies? ◊ is the worker able to apply new information to the current job situation or is assistance necessary? ◊ what previous knowledge or skills (including essential skills) are necessary to pursue continuous learning?
