Occupational Analyses

One of ATEEC’s areas of expertise is the development and facilitation of occupational analyses. An occupational analysis is an instructional design activity that researches and assesses the status of a targeted occupation or occupational area. An important part of an occupational analysis is getting input from experts in that occupation on the tasks, knowledge, and skills necessary to perform a job. ATEEC often facilitates this data gathering as a structured group interview activity. For a detailed example of an occupational analysis that ATEEC has facilitated, see the Partnership for Environmental Technology Education’s Energy Career Services report.
