STANDARD PRACTICE NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL SKILLS STANDARD (NOSS) FOR; WEB DEVELOPMENT LEVEL 4 1. INTRODUCTION Since the early 1970 s, the Malaysian government has introduced various initiatives to facilitate the greater adoption of Information and Communication technology (ICT) to improve capabilities in every field including education, banking, administration, health, service, manufacturing and many more. Malaysia has a long term vision, referred to as Vision 2020 and this vision calls for sustained productivity driven growth, which will be achieved only with a technologically literate, critically thinking workforce prepared to participate fully in the global economy. Previously, ICT sector in Malaysia is divided into 5 sub sectors namely Creative Multimedia, System Architecture, Analysis and Design, Service Management and Delivery, Solution Development and Information Security. According to the Occupational Analysis (OA) findings published by Department of Skills Development (JPK), Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia, Web Development is defined under the subsector of Creative Multimedia. A web developer is a programmer who specializes in, or is specifically engaged in, the development of World Wide Web applications, or distributed network applications that are run over HTTP from a web server to a web browser. A web development personnel can be defined as a person who is responsible to perform coding and compiling using web-based and object oriented programming language and scripting, design web pages, sites or applications, carry out debugging activities on web-based and object oriented programming language and scripting, perform unit testing, perform unit maintenance, and carry out supervisory function. They listen to user requests and specifications and provide attractive and capable web applications. Developers guarantee built in features for security, compatibility and integration online. When building a website, developers assess the structure, appeal, purpose and security. They present the best recommendations and follow the decision of the client. As their reputation is important, a web developer works to create quality and functional web applications. They understand the necessity for quality customer service and rely on customers recommendations to prospective clients. Web developers can be found working in all types of organizations, including large corporations and governments, small and medium sized companies, or alone as freelancers. Some web developers work for one organization as a permanent full- i

time employee, while others may work as independent consultants, or as freelancers for other company. Web Developers must also have comprehensive knowledge of databases, servers, operating systems, animation, graphics, and networking. As qualifications are not as significant as expertise, professionals must ensure to have evidence of their skills whether they are hosted on internet sites or on a physical disk. Web Developers have a couple of possible career path options. One path would continue within a Development role, which would remain very hands on in coding. The second option is to move into a Software Architecture role, which is less development and more complex, high-level design. Either path may eventually lead to Project Management or Product Management roles, depending on the company and the individual interests. The Web Developer role is often confused with the Web Designer role. A Web Designer is very different from a Web Developer. A Web Developer works more on the server side development, web server configuration, and web server security. A Web Designer is a person that creates and arranges the pages that make up a website. Web Designers often have to balance how a page looks versus how a web page functions, which can involve some compromises. In order to become a Website Developer, a Web Designer would need to learn additional programming languages and methodologies, such as Object Oriented design and Java programming. Authorities and Regulator for ICT Industry:- a. Ministry of Information Communications & Culture b. Multimedia Development Corporation (MDEC) c. Malaysian Multimedia and Communication Commission (MCMC) d. Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) e. Malaysian Intellectual Property Organisation (MIPO) Pre-requisite Based on the workshop findings, it was decided that the minimum requirement for those interested to enrol this course are as follows: SKM Level 3 Junior Multimedia Programmer or any certificate in related field. ii

2. OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE Web Development (Level 4) personnel comes under the sub-sector Creative Multimedia. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the structured career path and area of Web Development (Level 4) personnel. The panel of experts had concluded that this job area starts from tier 4 due to requirement of broad range of complex technical or professional work activities, performed in a variety of contexts, and with substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy. Responsibility for the work of others and allocation of resources is often present. The panel experts had also proposed that Web Development job area should be put under Solution Development sub sector. This is because the natures of work for web development personnel are not limited to web designing only, but also involved coding and compiling using web-based and object oriented programming language and scripting, design sites or applications, debugging and maintaining databases. iii

EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been recognised to have the transformational ability that would drive the country from P-economy to K-economy. With this transformation, the labour market for skilled workers and professionals in the ICT sector is very demanding. Based on MSC Malaysia Phase 2 Report, with the current trend of ICT sector in Malaysia, the industry is estimated to provide 110,000 in total for jobs and RM 5.5b investments by 2015. Thus, the Web Development Level 4 certificate holder can expect high employment prospect for local and international ICT establishments. Furthermore, the Economic Transformation Program has strengthened 10 EPPs (Entry Point Projects) to deliver RM16.6 billion incremental GNI by 2020. The first EPPs is to nurture Malaysia s creative content industry in services, distribution and vii

broadcasting sectors which aim to transform Malaysia into a regional hub for digital content. Meanwhile, the fourth EPPs are to establish E-Learning for students and professional training in a bid to establish a common knowledge platform for students and training into the same platform.
