چکیده مقاله :
The encouragement of technology application in environmental protection is one of the major challenges for most industries. Human activities that harm the environment must be tackled wisely so that all efforts in maintaining a safe environment can be continued. This situation leads us to the need for preparing individuals with adequate skills and knowledge related to green skills before entering the industry. This research is conducted to identify the occupational competency profile for mechanical industry towards sustainable development. The research methods comprise a methodological framework and model design. There were three phases involved in this study; namely the first, Needs Analysis Phase; second, Design Phase; and third, Usability Phase. Three requirements were used to determine whether to accept or reject the items. The lowest items based on their percentage were rejected. The final competency profile consisting of Skill, Knowledge, and Attitude domains with 14 sub domains was constructed. This study can support the development of training for future workers in the mechanical industry. The current scenario reports that individuals who enter the industrial world are lacking relevant qualifications related to work. These personnel are categorised as low-skilled workers which means more training need to be provided for them prior to entering the labour force. Therefore, specific training related to their job skills particularly in green skills need to be conducted to enhance their skills.
