SCANS Skills and CompetenciesBeginning in the late 1980s, the U.S. Department of Labor Secretarys Commission on
Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) conducted extensive research and interviews withbusiness owners, union leaders, supervisors, and laborers in a wide variety of work
settings to determine what knowledge workers needed in order to perform well on a job.
In 1991, the Commission announced its findings in What Work Requires in Schools. In
its research, the Commission determined that workplace know-how consists of twoelements: foundation skills and workplace competencies.
