Approval Sheet
The National Competency Standards for National Skills Certificate-I, II & III in
Apparel Screen Printing [Ready-Made Garments] was first developed in 2013 under the
Skills Development Project ADB Loan 2425 – BAN (SF). Later with the request from the
RMG sector and the change in demand, technology and diversity the UoCs were
reviewed and reformulated sub-sector wise in 2016 under the ILO Centre of Excellence
Project for RMG Sector in association with the Technical sub Committee for Apparel
Screen Printing and BTEB.
The revised sets of UoCs are approved by the Bangladesh Technical Education Board
(BTEB) upon the endorsement of the ISC at a meeting held on 17-06-2016 at the office
of the Industry Skills Council.
The Standard was also approved by Standard and Curriculum Development
Committee (SCDC) on 19-06-2016 at BTEB - NTVQF Cell.

Preface
The readymade garments industry acts as the backbone of our economy and as a
catalyst for the development of our country. Bangladesh takes pride in the sector that
has been fetching billions of dollars as export earnings and creating jobs for millions of
people in the country. The country's readymade garments (RMG) sector has been
experiencing a serious shortage of skilled workforce. Such a shortage has emerged as
a major constraint to realization of the sector's true growth potential, in terms of
productivity and production of high end apparels.
Skills development vis-à-vis the TVET system has a large role to play in economic
growth and social development as workforce provider to the labor market and as
provider of skills to those who are looking for employment. In case of Bangladesh, the
TVET sector needs major reforms to ensure that issues of quality and capacity,
relevance, and access are properly addressed.
The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) with funding from the Swedish retail
giant H&M and Sweden Government is implementing a project known as “Establishing
Centre of Excellence (COE) for RMG to implement certified training within the national
skills development framework of Bangladesh”. The main target of the Centre of
Excellence project is to establish a replicable industry-driven training and support
services model for the Bangladesh Ready Made Garment sector while it rigorously
works to improve the relevance of TVET in labor market by introducing competency-
based training system: a system that proceeds from the development of a
qualifications framework, competency standards, curriculum, training delivery,
assessment, and quality assurance mechanisms in order to develop a competitive
workforce.
The development of competency standards is regarded as the heart of a competency-
based training regime. Each standard defines sets of knowledge, skills and attitudes
(KSAs) that a Bangladeshi trainee should be able to demonstrate at a recognized level
of competence. It provides a common framework of outcomes between the labor and
education sectors, as well as among workers, trainers and trainees.
In the process of review and development of UoCs, Industry Skills Council (ISC),
BGMEA/BKMEA were organized to determine the competencies expected of an
occupation in Bangladesh. An Industry Skills Technical Committee was formed by
ISC/BGMEA who are real technical experts of the industry, performed review of
current documents/UoCs, analysed based on their rich experiences in the field, and
proposed a revised set of UoCs as per the real demand of the sector. National
consultants, ILO experts/professionals and BTEB experienced resource personnel
were involved in the process while competency standards of Sri Lanka, Philippines,
Australia, Korea, Malaysia, Maldives and other countries were examined.
A series of workshops – analysis, review and finalization - were conducted to ensure a
workable National Competency Standards for the occupation. Further, a validation
instrument was developed and administered to the top industry performers to verify
and confirm the draft being developed. It is hoped that this document reflects the real
needs of the industry thereby providing a concrete basis for the curriculum
development and assessment. In such a way, the development of relevant and
competent workforce is not farfetched.
