1.1 本标准实践为实体制定和管理基于能力的工作学习（CWL）计划提供了指导。 1.2 本标准实践为利益相关者确定CWL项目的质量提供了指导。 1.3 本标准规程不包含与人员认证、证书计划或一般教育或培训计划（包括颁发参与证书或出勤证书的计划）有关的说明或指导。 1.4 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如果有的话）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前建立适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 =====意义和用途====== 4.1 当今的劳动力短缺需要经过行业验证的基于能力的工作学习（CWL）计划。与CWL项目相关的标准实践通过为行业提供一个成功的框架，将这种重要的基于技能的劳动力准备形式化。获得证书的CWL计划增加了持有证书的个人总数，允许员工晋升（技能提升和再培训）、可移植性，以及为雇主提供高技能工人的人才管道。 4.2 这一标准做法将对来自不同人群的工人学习者产生积极影响，通常是那些在工作中发展技能的人，并将简化雇主将员工过渡到需求旺盛的高质量就业机会的过程，从而实现更可持续的经济流动性。 4.3 CWL课程为寻求传统课堂无法获得的技能的个人提供学习机会。对于工人来说，CWL计划旨在提供新的工作技能、实践培训经验，以及与具有该职业专业知识的个人在学习和评估过程中的互动。对于雇主来说，CWL项目旨在提供一批技术人才，以满足特定行业的需求。 4.4 虽然CWL课程与其他资格认证课程（如认证和证书课程）具有共同的属性，但它们是一种独特的资格认证课程类型。这三个课程都有总结性评估部分。证书课程和CWL课程都有与其评估相一致的学习部分，而认证则没有。在这些认证课程中，只有CWL课程将形成性评估作为指定的评估方法，将体验式学习作为指定的学习方法。最后，CWL项目的独特之处在于，它们必须在真实或模拟的工作场所环境中实施。最后三个属性是允许的，但在证书程序中是可选的。 4.5 虽然CWL课程是一种不同的课程类型，但证书课程和认证课程都可以 1. 加入CWL项目的先决条件， 2. 作为CWL计划的一部分获得的，或 3. 在参加CWL课程期间通过外部实体获得的收入。 4.6 本标准实践将为特定实体开发和管理CWL计划的自我认证、认可或认证提供基础。

1.1 This standard practice provides instruction to entities for developing and administering competency-based work-based learning (CWL) programs. 1.2 This standard practice provides guidance to stakeholders in determining the quality of CWL programs. 1.3 This standard practice does not contain instructions or guidance pertaining to certification of persons, certificate programs, or education or training programs in general, including those that issue certificates of participation or certificates of attendance. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 Today’s labor shortages demand competency-based work-based learning (CWL) programs that are validated by industry. A standard practice relative to CWL programs formalizes this important type of skill-based, workforce preparation by offering industry a framework for success. CWL programs that result in a credential increase the total number of individuals holding credentials, allowing for worker advancement (upskilling and reskilling), portability, and a talent pipeline of highly skilled workers for the employer. 4.2 This standard practice will have a positive impact on worker-learners from various populations, generally those who develop their skills while working on the job and will streamline the process for employers transitioning employees to in-demand, high-quality employment opportunities, allowing for more sustainable economic mobility. 4.3 CWL programs offer learning opportunities for individuals seeking skills that may not be attained in a traditional classroom. For workers, CWL programs are designed to provide new job skills, hands-on training experiences, and interaction with individuals with expertise in the occupation as facilitators in the learning and assessment processes. For employers, CWL programs are designed to provide a pipeline of skilled talent to meet specific industry needs. 4.4 While CWL programs have attributes in common with other credentialing programs, such as certification and certificate programs, they are a distinct credentialing program type. All three programs have a summative assessment component. Certificate programs and CWL programs have a learning component aligned with its assessment, while certification does not. Of these credentialing programs, only CWL programs have formative assessments as a specified assessment method and experiential learning as a specified learning method. Lastly, unique to CWL programs is that they must be implemented in a real or simulated workplace setting. These last three attributes are allowable but optional in certificate programs. 4.5 While CWL programs are a distinct program type, both certificate programs and certification programs can be (1) a pre-requisite to admittance to a CWL program, (2) earned as part of a CWL program, or (3) earned through an external entity while enrolled in a CWL program. 4.6 This standard practice will provide the foundation for the self-attestation, recognition, or accreditation of a specific entity to develop and administer a CWL program.
