Skills

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

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 Precision Systems Maintenance & Repair Technologies 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 Operation Monitoring, Monitoring, Operation and Control, Quality Control Analysis, Troubleshooting, Critical Thinking, Reading Comprehension, Judgment and Decision Making, Complex Problem Solving, Active Listening, Active Learning, Speaking, Time Management, Coordination, Mathematics, Writing, Repairing, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Equipment Selection, Service Orientation, Equipment Maintenance, Social Perceptiveness, Instructing, Persuasion, Management of Personnel Resources, Negotiation, Installation, Learning Strategies, Operations Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Science, Technology Design, and Programming are the three most important skills for people in the field.
