The DACUM International Training Center offers over 200 collected and catalogued DACUM research charts covering a wide range of occupations. These charts, all developed either by the Center on Education and Training for Employment (CETE) staff or by persons we have trained, represent applied curriculum research of the highest quality.
This service is offered to assist curriculum developers and others who wish to develop either a competency-based education or performance-based training program, but for whatever reason, cannot immediately conduct a local DACUM workshop of their own. High-quality DACUM charts imported from elsewhere can provide valuable start-up information and/or serve as a basis for conducting a modified DACUM workshop. However, it is highly recommended that any chart purchased from CETE or elsewhere be locally verified (validated) via a mailed or electronic task verification process or appropriate advisory committee review.
The Center wishes to make it emphatically clear that while offering its collection of high-quality DACUM charts at a minimal fee, it in no way wishes to discourage schools, community colleges, technical institutes, government agencies, and businesses and industries from conducting their own up-to-date locally relevant job or occupational analyses. The quality of a current, locally conducted analysis developed by a trained facilitator and a qualified panel of 5-12 expert workers, cannot be matched by a chart developed elsewhere.
A listing of the available DACUM charts is presented below. Individual charts can be purchased at $50 per copy (U.S. funds). Charts will be sent electronically at no shipping charge and checks should be made payable to OSU/CETE. Please contact us for additional information about purchasing charts or for information about DACUM occupational analysis workshops, DACUM Facilitator Training Institutes, and/or Systematic Curriculum and Instructional Development (SCID) Workshops.
