Skills

Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Other Electrical Maintenance & Repair Technology field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Other Electrical Maintenance & Repair Technology majors need many skills, but most especially Equipment Maintenance. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Other Electrical Maintenance & Repair Technology majors need more than the average amount of Repairing, Equipment Maintenance, Troubleshooting, Equipment Selection, Installation, Operation and Control, Operation Monitoring, Quality Control Analysis, Science, Management of Personnel Resources, Systems Analysis, Instructing, Service Orientation, Systems Evaluation, Critical Thinking, Time Management, Programming, Coordination, Monitoring, Technology Design, Operations Analysis, Complex Problem Solving, Reading Comprehension, Judgment and Decision Making, Negotiation, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Social Perceptiveness, Active Learning, Active Listening, Speaking, Writing, Mathematics, Persuasion, and Learning Strategies.

These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Other Electrical Maintenance & Repair Technology majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Repairing is very distinctive for majors, but the Equipment Maintenance, Repairing, Troubleshooting, Critical Thinking, Reading Comprehension, Operation Monitoring, Quality Control Analysis, Active Listening, Complex Problem Solving, Monitoring, Judgment and Decision Making, Systems Analysis, Time Management, Speaking, Operation and Control, Writing, Active Learning, Coordination, Systems Evaluation, Instructing, Service Orientation, Management of Personnel Resources, Social Perceptiveness, Equipment Selection, Science, Negotiation, Mathematics, Learning Strategies, Persuasion, Operations Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Programming, Technology Design, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
