Transitional Skills
The primary objective of this project was to identify tools and resources to enable workers (current, future and displaced) in the automotive manufacturing industry to adapt to changes in their work environment and to continuously upgrade their knowledge and skills on a path of life-long learning. This project was much more than a one-time snapshot. It is a long-term and comprehensive solution to resolving stakeholders’ human resource planning needs. It will require the support of employers and workers from every segment of the industry.
In the initial phase of the transitional skills project, those directly involved in transition (employees, employers and practitioners) provided insights into transition barriers, notable practices and recommendations.

National Functional Standards
In the current phase, the Council for Automotive Human Resources (CAHR) intends to begin work on the development of National Functional Standards to describe the minimum competencies (skills, knowledge and attributes) necessary to work within all streams of the industry. These include (but are not limited to) finance, human resources, information systems, maintenance, production, materials planning and logistics, quality control, product and process development and sales. For a more detailed description of this work, click here to download the “National Functional Standards Development Guidelines”.
CAHR will be seeking to engage the participation of assemblers, parts suppliers, tooling manufacturers and employees from across all of the above noted streams in the development and validation of the National Functional Standards.
