Employability Skills Summary
Employability Skills are part of a unit of competency.
Employability Skills statements from a selection of units of competency from the PUA20613 Certificate II in Public Safety (Firefighting and Emergency Operations) have been reproduced in the table below.
This table provides an example of Employability Skills for the qualification because Employability Skills within a qualification will vary depending on the qualification packaging options.
