Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

Skill

Description

Reading

Gathers, interprets and analyses technical documentation to test and implement enterprise tools successfully

Numeracy

Selects and interprets mathematical information that may be partly embedded in a range of familiar and less familiar tasks to evaluate performance and interoperability of communication services

Get the work done

Uses a combination of formal, logical planning processes and an increasingly intuitive understanding of context to plan, design and implement a communications solution

Reflects on the ways in which digital systems and tools are used, or could be used, to achieve work goals and begins to recognise strategic and operational applications

Uses specialised software to ensure an enterprise can engage with geographically distributed team members

Initiates standard procedures when responding to a predictable range of network and software compatibility problems
