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