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