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