Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

Skill	Description
Numeracy	Performs mathematical calculations and analyses financial information, costs and values in determining cost of implementation
Reading	Critically analyses complex documentation from a variety of sources and consolidates information applicable to specific criteria when determining requirements
Teamwork	Implements strategies for a diverse range of colleagues and clients and builds rapport and fosters strong relationships
Initiative and enterprise	Seeks to improve policies and procedures according to organisational goals Investigates new and innovative ideas as a means to continuously improve work practices and processes through consultation and formal and analytical thinking
