Transition Time - Occupation to Occupation

Unique interactive tool allows users—a job-seeker or a workforce career counselor, for example—to estimate the preparation time required to transition from one occupation to another. "Transition time," while measured in weeks of academic, technical or vocational training, is a relative measure to provide one with an estimate of the relative ease or difficulty of moving from one type of job to another. This method, in effect, compares the similarity of education and training between occupations.
