  1. An O*NET Academy Briefing:Tools and Technology for In-Demand Occupations Presented by Dr. Janet Wall Sr. Trainer, O*NET Academy

  2. Goals of the Webinar • Provide background and information on the new tools and technology part of O*NET • Show how O*NET Online, Career Voyages, and Career InfoNet incorporate tools and technology • Indicate future plans for tools and technology

  3. Tools and Technology • New addition to O*NET system • Part of O*NET Content Model • Identifies technology competencies for occupations • Includes: • tools • information technology • software • equipment • machines • Focuses on the in-demand occupations

  4. Why T2? • Identify the Tools and Technology (T2) workers must use for optimal functioning in a high-performance workplace • This is what employers refer to as “Hard Skills” • Emphasis placed on cutting edge technologies and emerging workplace practices (not exhaustive)

  5. How T2 Can Be Used - Identify Impact of Innovation • Understand how tools and technology have changed occupations • Medical Records and Health Information Technicians • Computer-based record keeping software indicates a radical change in skills required • Paralegals and Legal Assistants • Increased use of software suites aimed at organizing and preparing legal cases for litigation • Chemists • T2s such as high-pressure liquid chromatography systems and mass spectrometers are early indicators of the transformation to nanotechnology

  6. How T2 Can Be Used - Workers • Understand occupation and job requirements • Identify education and training needs • Develop resumes • Search occupations by software, equipment, tool, and technology

  7. How T2 Can Be Used - Employers • Improve training needs assessment • Develop training program and curricula • Use training resources more efficiently • Enhance occupational searchers • Assist in job order creation • Help with resume evaluation • Enhance the job matching process • Perform more specific “skills gap” analysis • Create more robust, up-to-date descriptions of occupations/industries

  8. How T2 Can Be Used – Education and Training • Design educational and training programs that meet employer and worker needs • Develop certifications and related programs • Identify new technical skills/competencies and cutting-edge technologies used in the workplace

  9. Development • Over 14,000 tools and technologies have been identified • Organized into existing United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) classification system • This system is a global standard for business

  10. Classification Structure • United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) (www.unspsc.org) • Open, global electronic commerce standard that provides a logical framework for classifying goods and services • Basis of international procurement processes, enabling businesses to market products and services more efficiently, and avoid developing a proprietary classification system • Developed and maintained by the United Nations in partnership with Dun & Bradstreet

  11. Classification Structure • UNSPSC is an ideal, hierarchical classification system for T2 • Segment • Family • Class(group of commodities sharing a common use or function) • Commodity (group of substitute products and services) * Business Function

  12. Classification Structure • O*NET T2 Classification • Class level • Commodity Level • O*NET T2 Example Level EXAMPLE • Class Level: Soldering, brazing, and welding machinery and supplies • Commodity Level: Blow Torches • O*NET T2 Level: Acetylene torches

  13. T2 Development • Internet-based data collection • Build on previous O*NET project tasks (i.e., task development) • Trained analysts • Strong proficiency in Internet searching procedures • Strong background and training in occupational analysis • Data classification • Quality control

  14. T2 Development • First tier • Use occupational information to “scrape” the Web for T2s • Occupational description, tasks, and “raw” task information • Successful in capturing objects central to occupation performance • Produced the majority of T2s • Second tier • Use industry terms and first-tier T2 examples • Use the UNSPSC classification system to identify potential gaps or weak areas • Successful in capturing cutting-edge technologies; newer, emerging T2s; and increases occupational coverage

  15. T2 Development • Occupation Expert (OE) verification • Reviewed sample of occupations • High degree of overlap, consensus • OE additions at the T2 Example Level, not at the Commodity Level

  16. How has T2 been included in O*NET? • Focus on In-Demand Occupations (now 327 occupations) • High growth, high-demand occupations • Important to national security • Important to US economy • Emerging occupations • Occupations have • 94 per occupation (average) • Range of 13 to 300 per occupation
