One Health Workforce Competency Framework and Evaluation Toolkit
“Competency frameworks are important to define what trainees need to know, understand, and be able to do. Training assessments are key to identify what trainees learn and determine if the training results in desired change.
While there are a multitude of One Health Workforce trainings, some training manuals have not defined the competencies, and few to none according to level of proficiency. Many training manuals include an evaluation survey to measure learners’ reaction to the training, some have included assessments to measure learning outcomes of knowledge, but few have tools to measure learners’ behavior or results at the organizational or institutional level.
There is a need to share lessons and synthesize resources across One Health Workforce training initiatives and to address gaps to enhance training quality and measure success.This manual was developed to promote competency-based training and evaluation for One Health Workforce by organizing current approaches, methodologies, and tools into a resource library and building a competency framework and assessment toolkit.” (p.8)
