NCCER Seeking Experts for Curriculum Development

NCCER is looking for bilingual general industrial electricians to serve as subject matter experts (SMEs) for an update to its Industrial Electrician Assessment (Spanish). The meeting will be held November 10-12, 2008, in Fairfax, Virginia. The center also is seeking expert millwrights for its Millwright Level 5 validation and assessment, to be held December 8-12, 2008 in Orlando, Florida. SMEs are construction, maintenance, or pipeline professionals who have journey-level or technician-level experience. SMEs are volunteers who review and revise the curricula for each craft and ensure that the NCCER curriculum remains current with industry standards. Both sessions will include an NCCER facilitator and a psychometrician from Prov, NCCER’s test development partner. NCCER will provide all meeting materials, breakfasts, and lunches during the meeting. SMEs are expected to pay their own travel and lodging costs for the meeting.
