Division of Labor

A more formalized occupational system is needed in order to utilize manpower more effectively as the community grows. These categories are intended to be large enough to permit a great deal of diversity in work experience, but are refined enough that an individual can develop a level of expertise which is not readily possible for a jack of all trades. In order to ensure that the appropriate personnel are being given the necessary access to tools, resources, and training certain specialized tasks within each occupational group will require certification from a more senior member of that group. For instance, the operation of heavy equipment generally necessitates some sort of training program for safety.

The List of Occupations:

These specializations are divided into two elements. The first is the "Entry-Level" occupation and the second is the "Professional" occupations. Essentially the idea is that, for instance, a Yeoman can eventually advance to being an Ecologist. This goes along with pattern 83 (Master and Apprentice) from Alexander's Pattern Language book. The Names I've chosen are not necessarily final, but I think they are sufficiently clear to demonstrate the differences between the occupations.

These divisions will also assist in the appropriate placement of new individuals, the clarification of specific responsibilities, and the organization of training materials.
