Competencies > O*Net

What can you do on this screen?

On this screen, you can review the competencies that form the basis of tasks, subtasks, and steps (aka skills) in the task analysis of the initiative. Those skills are then used as the basis for the learning objectives, which in turn are the basis for the content in the initiative.

In LEAD, we provide you with the Department of Labor (DOL) O*NET Tasks, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities listing, based on the DOL's Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). You may wish to use the O*NET website: https://www.onetonline.org/ to find the relevant information for your initiative. You can also review the occupational information directly in LEAD.

The DOL SOC classifies occupations at four levels of aggregation: Major Occupation, Minor Occupation, Broad Jobs, and Jobs. These groups are reflected in the Type field in LEAD, while the Major/Minor/Broad/Job Code is the specific code for that job or occupation.
