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