Developed through a modified DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) process involving business, industry, labor, and community agency representatives in Ohio, this document is a comprehensive and verified employer competency profile for masonry occupations. The list contains units (with and without subunits), competencies, and competency builders that identify the skills needed to enter these occupations. The occupational, academic, and employability skills for this occupation or occupational area are included. Within the outline are three levels of items: core, advancing, and futuring. Core items identify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for entry-level employment. These items are required to be taught and will be the basis for questions on the state vocational competency tests. Advancing items identify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to advance in the occupation; futuring items identify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to enter and remain in a given occupation 3 to 4 years from now. This profile contains 17 units: safety; masonry materials and tools; materials preparation; job site preparation; bonding; blueprint reading, recordkeeping, and estimating; laying brick and block to a line; brick and block wood; jointing; masonry construction; foundations and footers; reinforced concrete masonry; special masonry applications; chimney and fireplace construction; arch construction; basic welding and cutting; and employability skills.
