Key Terms Used in TORQ • KSA: These are the knowledge, skills, and abilities that have been developed or acquired through education, training, and/or prior work experience. • Transferrable skills: Current skills that were acquired through prior employment, training, education, or some other activity, which can easily be applied to other occupations or industries. • Skills Gap: The gap between available skills and the skills required to perform task. This gap creates opportunities to increase one’s knowledge, skills, or abilities. 7

  8. Key Terms Used in TORQ • TORQ Score: a number between 0-100 that categorizes the transferabilityof skills from one occupation to another. This is based on O*NET KSA values. • Personal Employment Plan (PEP): the output report that lists your basic information, all the TORQ transferable jobs you considered, together with job postings, skills gaps, education/training, and personal information. 8

Interpreting TORQ Scores TORQ 90-100 • Chances for successful transition are very high • May be able to make transition immediately or with short training/education investment TORQ 80-89 • Transition is still possible. • Larger KSA gaps or general differences in occupations may require more intensive training. TORQ <80 • In most cases, this transition is probably impractical. • One or more major KSA may severely hinder transfer or require substantial training/education. 10
