Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Upper secondary education in Mexico
Spanish term or phrase: el quehacer laboral
As you can see from the context below, the phrase is being used in reference to disciplines being taught at the upper secondary level (= EMS). I'm thinking it might be referring to vocational programs like carpentry, shorthand and typing, etc., but I'm open to ideas. By the way, for each field there are "competencias básicas" and "competencias extendidas", which are more specialized.

Las competencias disciplinares extendidas para los campos de las Ciencias Experimentales, las Ciencias Sociales y de la Comunicación del bachillerato general se han elaborado y documentado en el Acuerdo Secretarial 486 (abril de 2009). También se han definido algunas competencias profesionales de instituciones que imparten formación y capacitación profesional, para **campos específicos del quehacer laboral**, comunes a varias instituciones. El objetivo es articular la oferta de formación profesional y transitar de la fragmentación y dispersión hacia una organización e integración flexible en campos de formación profesional, así como en la definición de las competencias profesionales de las carreras comunes y de las carreras específicas de la EMS. Se pretende completar la definición de la mayoría de las competencias profesionales extendidas en el último trimestre de 2013.
