Conclusions
KC Rising’s sectors
create demands
for
some very
specific knowledge competencies.
The skills and abilities demanded are more generally shared across the sectors.
Life science occupations
appear to be a
bit more
unique than others in this regard
More work is needed to unpack the knowledge competencies into specific domain
requirementsSlide34
Questions
Is
this a useful start
?
Where should we go from here?
