Following
its Training Needs Assessment Workshops in 2001, ARCBC has conducted
a "Workshop on Identification of Standards for Protected
Area Occupations in the ASEAN" last 1-5 July 2002 at the
Kinabalu National Park in Sabah, Malaysia. This workshop was
aimed at producing a set of draft occupational standards for
generic protected area management occupations based on the collective
experience of ASEAN countries.
Participated
in by a total of 27
participants from the different ASEAN member countries,
the 5-day workshop yielded the following main outputs:
-
-
List
of Competences for Protected Area Occupations
-
Occupation-based
competence requirements for protected areas staff in the
ASEAN
-
Chart
of generic protected area occupations for the ASEAN
As
a follow-up activity, a draft document will be prepared containing
the outputs of the workshop and will be circulated among the
participants for comments. Once finalized, the results will
be tested by conducting workshops in the ASEAN region. The final
draft will depend on the results of the regional workshops and,
as suggested in the Sabah workshop, can be presented on the
next ASOEN Meeting for endorsement. Results and outputs are
being collated and edited and will be available later in the
year.
