Instructions for the Worksite Mentor(s) and Instructor(s)

The Skill Standards Checklist is a list of the competencies (tasks) to be achieved through mentoring at the worksite.

  • The worksite mentor should rate each competency as the student acquires and demonstrates the skill according to the performance criteria.
  • A competency may be revisited and the score raised as the student becomes more proficient at the worksite.
  • The mentor and student should go over this checklist together on a regular basis to record progress and plan future steps to complete the required competencies.

I certify that this student has successfully completed the competencies required in my department. Circle your YA role, sign and print your name, and complete with the date signed and the department name.

Operational Program Notes for Skill Standards Checklist

1.Transportation, Distribution & Logistics Youth Apprenticeship Curriculum

  • Definitions:
  • Competency- The worksite skill to be performed
  • Performance Standards- HOW the worksite will assess skill performance
  • Learning Objectives- Content knowledge to learn these skills; may be taught by the employer, school district and/or technical college.
  • Skill Standards Checklist- The documented list of competencies completed by the YA student
  • Performance Standards & Learning Objectives are located in the Program Guide for this Youth Apprenticeship.

2.ALL Youth Apprentices MUST complete the Required Skills (Core Skills and Safety) competencies for each Pathway they are enrolled in.

  • The Required Skills competencies may be completed concurrently with the specific Pathway technical competencies.
  • The Required Skills are common skills specific to all transportation, distribution and logistics sub-sectors. These skills are aligned with the National States’ Career Clusters standards for Transportation, Distribution and Logistics.

3.Youth Apprenticeship choices (depending on job placement)

  • Competencies have been reviewed by the Department of Workforce Development for Child Labor Laws. Contact the Department of Workforce Development’s Equal Rights Division/Labor Standards Bureau at 608-266-6860 for questions regarding child labor laws.
  • Students will complete a Minimum Ratingin two units for a Level One Transportation, Distribution & Logistics (TDL) YA and a Minimum Ratingin all pathway units for aLevel TWO Transportation, Distribution & Logistics YA.
  • Units within each Pathway are unique to that Pathway. Therefore,switching between pathways, after the successful completion of the first year, is not allowable.
  • DWD will accept a copy of the NATEFworksite checklist in Appendix C of TDL YA Program Guide in lieu of this YA Checklist for the applicable units in the Auto Technician Pathway provided that the applicable YA NATEF tasks are scored at a NATEF scoring rating of 4 or 5. See Appendix C in the TDL Program Guide for a listing of the YA NATEF tasks.
  • The Department of Workforce Development Occupational Certificate will indicate “Transportation, Distribution and Logistics” attained when the program is completed.

4.Competency Ratings

  • Rate the student on the competencies regularly and revisit the competencies with the student periodically to offer the opportunity for an improved rating
  • Arrangements must be made to ensure that the student learns, practices, AND performs each competency even if that competency is not part of their regular job function
  • “Entry Level” criteria should be interpreted to mean “able to do the task satisfactorily.”
