Vocational education and training - VET

Dear readers,

As promised, we are very happy to publish this special bulletin to mark the 50th anniversary of DACUM, a technology created in Canada and now used on all continents.

For the occasion, we have assembled a series of articles written during this half-century period. You will find writings or references narrating the origins of DACUM, describing its evolution and uses in various contexts and countries.

DACUM (Developing A CUrriculuM) is a competency-based system for organizing, delivering instruction and managing the learning process. Its competency analysis component (the DACUM analysis) has become a standard in a large variety of organizations (education, government, business and industry, NFP, etc.) throughout the world.
