Update from Pennsylvania’s Department of Education
There has been a recent change (1-1-2021) regarding Employment Experience Guidelines for the Occupational Competency Assessment. The employment experience requirement does not have to be within any time constraint. The “within 10 years” requirement has been removed. Please see below.
Appendix B – Employment Experience Guidelines
- The following is to be used to meet the employment experience requirement.
- A minimum of four years (8000 hours) comprehensive wage-earning experience beyond the learning period to include experience directly related to the occupation to be taught. Learning period is defined as formal educational or professional experience in which the person was being trained for the occupation to be taught.
- A minimum of four years (8000 hours) of military employment or service beyond the training period directly related to the occupation to be taught.
- The following are other employment experience considerations:
- Part-time work experience will be evaluated on the basis of four thousand (4000) clock-hours as equivalent to one calendar year.
- Work experience used in verifying occupational experience in one occupation may also be used to verify occupational experience in another closely related occupation.
NOTE: Secondary or Postsecondary teaching (including paraprofessional) experience in the occupational area cannot be counted toward the work experience requirement.
Supervisory experience in the industry setting cannot be counted toward the work experience requirement.
