In collaboration with the Urban Institute, we offer national frameworks for occupations in this industry that are consensus based, meaning they are drafted in cooperation with employers, educators, and other workforce and training experts. Employers and businesses can use these frameworks to fast-track the development of their registered apprenticeships. The frameworks are competency based rather than time based, meaning that abilities are emphasized over memorized knowledge or skills. The result is high-quality, competency-based occupational frameworks (CBOFs) that are freely available for all to use. CBOFs are available for the following occupations:

• Avionics Technician (MS Word)
• Transit Bus Technician (MS Word)
• Transit Coach Operator (MS Word)
• Truck Driver (MS Word)

• Transportation Fact Sheet
• Strengthening Skills Training and Career Pathways across the Transportation Industry
• Transportation Workforce Development at Community Colleges
• Strategies to Attract and Retain a Capable Transportation Workforce
• Midwest Transportation Workforce Center
• National Training Standards Project (Transportation Learning Center)
• Transportation Industry Competency Models
