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.

Task Text The Task Text of the selected entry, as provided by O*Net from the Department of Labor. Type The Type field shows that this a task entry. Task ID The Task ID of the selected entry, as provided by O*Net from the Department of Labor. Task Version The Task Version number of the selected entry. This version number is created by LEAD when the data is imported. When a new version of the O*Net competency data becomes available, this number is updated, if a new version becomes available. This will also flag all instances where the entry was used in a task analysis, so you can review them and decide whether you need to make a change. If an entry is deleted from the competency data, any instances where it was used in a task analysis will likewise be flagged for your review. Task Type The Task Type tells you whether a task is Core or Non-Core/Supplemental. Typically, a task that is performed by the majority of people in an occupation is classified as a Core task, while one that is performed by a minority of people is classified as Non-Core or Supplemental.
