Comprehensive description of functional analysis, the method developed to define occupational standards and National Vocational Qualifications. Also discusses changes in contemporary work patterns, arguing that a new model of occupational competence is needed - the job competence model. The text is in 4 parts: part 1 argues for a more strategic role for vocational training and education; part 2 charts the development of models of occupational competence which reflect the needs of a changing workplace; and parts 3 and 4 are a manual on how to use functional analysis to develop and define the occupational standards which describe the performance characteristics of a competent workforce.
