Find your transferable skills
Everything you learn and every skill you have is part of your
personal tool kit. You carry these "tools" with you as you move through school and into the job
market. When you develop a skill or gain experience in one place and put what you've learned to use

The Difference Between Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
Posted by Admin | May 27, 2016
Confession: I have a tendency to use these terms
interchangeably at times. Truth is, I shouldn’t. Knowledge, skills,
and abilities (aka KSAs) are three different things. And it’s
important to know the difference – even though the difference can be
subtle.
Knowledge is the theoretical or practical
understanding of a subject. For example, an employee might have
knowledge of the ADDIE model used in instructional design. This
doesn’t mean the employee knows how to be an instructional designer.
It means they know the model.

additional output can be achieved with the same level of effort.

Geospatial Technology Competency Model
Posted by Admin | June 3, 2016
The Geospatial Technology
Competency Model (GTCM) is depicted as a pyramid with nine tiers.
This depiction illustrates how occupational and industry
competencies build on a foundation of personal effectiveness,
academic, and workplace competencies. Each tier consists of one or
more blocks representing the skills, knowledge, and abilities
essential for successful performance in the industry or occupation
represented by the model. At the base of the model, competencies
apply to a large number of occupations and industries. As a user
moves up the model, the competencies become industry- and
occupation-specific. This document specifies competencies required
for worker success in the geospatial industry, from the most general
“Personal Effectiveness Competencies” (Tier 1) to the
sector-specific competencies presented in Tier 5. Additional
occupation-specific competencies and requirements (Tiers 6-8), as
well as management competencies (Tier 9) are beyond the scope of
this document.
