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