The draft Competence Framework for Specialist Furniture Technicians has now been published, with the wider industry invited to review the framework and contribute to the consultation.
Developed through an industry-led process, the framework aims to establish a clear understanding of the knowledge, skills and behaviours required of specialist furniture technicians.
SITEWORKS has supported and coordinated the development of the framework, working alongside an industry steering group whose knowledge, experience and constructive challenge have helped shape the draft.
The next stage is to hear from the wider industry.
Businesses and individuals are being encouraged to share the draft framework within their organisations and professional networks, particularly with those involved in specialist furniture, procurement, project management, installation, training, design and construction.
Have your say
This is an important opportunity for the industry to help shape a framework that reflects the realities of specialist furniture work and the competencies required within the sector.
Industry professionals are encouraged to:
- READ the draft Competence Framework
- FEEDBACK through the consultation form
- JOIN the live Industry Q&A on Tuesday 15 September at 2pm
The consultation form also provides an opportunity to register for the Q&A session and submit questions in advance.
An industry-led framework
While SITEWORKS has been proud to help coordinate and lead the development process, the framework has been shaped by the expertise and experience of the industry steering group.
The consultation now provides an opportunity for the wider sector to build on that work, challenge the proposals where appropriate and ensure the final framework is relevant, practical and reflective of industry needs.
Everyone with an interest in specialist furniture and the development of competence within the sector is encouraged to get involved.
