Response to the National Development Plan (NDP) ECSA developed the new Commitment and Undertaking
(C&U) Focus on development of engineering graduates All companies and mentors to sign the new C&U Fastest and most effective way to develop a graduate is
through planned and structured training, Managed by an experienced and registered professional – the
mentor C&U offers guidance to companies and mentors alike
NEXT GENERATION OF ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS

PLANNING PRINCIPLES
6
In planning workplace activities the following ingredients areessential:
o Activities must focus on required competencies (11 Exit Level
Outcomes)
o Activities must be varied
o Activities must increase Degree of Responsibility
o Activities must provide appropriate Levels of Development
![Page 7: COMMITMENT AND UNDERTAKING OVERVIEW FOR · PDF file3 Response to the National Development Plan (NDP) ECSA developed the new Commitment and Undertaking (C&U) Focus on development of](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030409/5a8ed4de7f8b9abb068d51a6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DEGREE OF RESPONSIBILITY

Level Nature of Work Responsibility Level of Support Typical time
A. Being Exposed Induction/
Observes
None Explains challenges/ solutions 6
to
12
months
B. Assisting Performs under close supervision
Limited for work output
Coaches and feedback
C. Participating Performs
under limited
supervision
Full for supervised work
Progressively reduces support 12 to
18 months
D. Contributing Performs with approval of work output
Full to supervisor for quality of work
Candidate articulates own reasoning and compares
E. Performing Works without supervision
Full as appropriate for a registered person
Candidate takes on without support/ limited guidance
12 months

LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT
8
4 Capability
CEs must demonstrate that they have the capability, independently or (at most) with limited
guidance, of performing the process and making the decisions required to reach the objectives
of each element and also that they have the capability of leading or supervising others in the
process.
3 Experience
CEs must demonstrate that they have, independently or under supervision, performed the
processes relating to each objective. Experience of the relevant techniques and functions must
be gained.
2 Knowledge
CEs must demonstrate that they have sufficient knowledge of how to carry out the processes that
are necessary to meet the objectives.
1 Appreciation
CEs must demonstrate that they have a general appreciation of the subject matter as well as of
the reasons for its inclusion in the training programme.
