OCCUPATIONAL STANDARD
Ethiopia has embarked on a process of reforming its Technical and Vocational Education and
Training (TVET) System. Within the policies and strategies of the Ethiopian Government,
technology transformation by using current international standards and international best
practices as the basis, and, adopting, adapting and verifying them in the Ethiopian context – is a
pivotal element. TVET is given an important role with regard to technology transfer. The new
paradigm in the outcome-based TVET system is the orientation at the current and anticipated
future demand of the economy and the labor market.
The Ethiopian Occupational Standard (EOS) is the core element of the Ethiopian National TVET
Strategy and an important factor within the context of the National TVET Qualification
Framework (NTQF). They are national Ethiopian standards, which define the current and future
occupational requirements and expected outcome related to a specific occupation using distinct
Unit of Competences without taking TVET delivery into account.
The whole package EOS document for an occupation is an integrated set of nationally endorsed
core generic Unit of Competences organized in to different qualification levels built one upon the
other below or side wise to make full occupational profile.
This document details the mandatory format, sequencing, wording and layout for the Ethiopia
Occupational Standard which comprised of Units of Competence.
A Unit of Competence describes a distinct work activity. It is documented in a standard format
that comprises:
Occupational title and NTQF level
Unit title
Unit code
Unit descriptor
Elements and Performance criteria
