Information Technology Skill Standards

The following is a list of Skill Standards for Information Technology, developed by the National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET). The skills standards listed are from the 2003 edition. Only standards from the Web Development and Administration career cluster are included since these standards are specifically addressed in the present curriculum.

Since ours is an introductory course, some of the standards are beyond the scope of this course. However, schools should consider the full set of standards in developing or procuring curricula for intermediate and advanced web design courses. Consult the NWCET website for additional information.

The following standards are sub-divided into eight critical work functions.

A.Perform Technical Analysis

B. Perform Web Programming

C.Develop, Deliver, and Manage Content

D. Implement and Maintain Site and Applications

E. Manage Web Environment

This work function is outside the scope of this introductory web design course.

F. Manage Enterprise-wide Web Activities

G. Perform Testing and Quality Assurance

H. Develop and Implement Web Database

This work function is outside the scope of this introductory web design course.
