This report documents a project to develop current statewide validated competencies for auto mechanics, diesel mechanics, welding, office occupations, and printing. Section 1 describes the four steps used in the current competency validation project and provides a standardized process for conducting future studies at the local or statewide level. The validated competency lists and the performance objectives and assessments that were developed by the project team are discussed in section 2. Results of the study are divided into the five vocational areas of auto mechanics, diesel mechanics, office occupations, welding, and printshop trades. For each area this information is provided: survey procedures, data analysis and reduction, major results and conclusions, additional results, specific products produced, regional trends, and summary of results. The summary includes the Texas Statewide Validated Competency List, a table of survey questions, performance objectives and assessments keyed to survey questions, and results of a geographic analysis.
