DESCRIPTION 

Numeracy

  • Uses mathematical formulas and calculations to perform a cost-benefit analysis

Oral communication

Teamwork

  • Uses analytical processes to decide on a course of action, establishing criteria for deciding between options, and seeking input and advice from others before acting

Planning and organising
