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