The DACUM Process

What is DACUM?
DACUM (Develop A Curriculum) is an innovative facilitative approach to both developing curriculum and conducting an occupational analysis. It is an effective method to determine quickly the tasks that must be performed by persons employed in a given job or occupational area. This data can then be used to form the framework of a program or course curriculum, or can be used to develop a competency-based job profile.

How it Works
A group of Subject Matter Experts (SME's) are organized together to discuss their occupation in a group setting. The process is guided with the use of a facilitator and recorder. Click on the pictures to find out more.

The Outcome

Upon completion of the DACUM process an occupational analysis chart or outcomes chart is generated based on the participation of the Subject Mater Experts(SME's). This chart is often distributed to other SME's in other regions to validate the information gathered. The information gathered during the DACUM process is used to generate program and course curriculum, or used in the workplace to develop accurate occupations. View an example chart (PDF).
