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