Where a geology technician can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a geology technician already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Geology technicians assist in all the activities carried out by geologists. Under the supervision of geologists, they collect materials, carry out research and study the samples collected from the Earth. Geology technicians assist in determining the value of the land for oil or gas exploration. They perform various technical activities, including collecting samples during geochemical surveys, working on drill sites, and participating in geophysical surveys and geological studies.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a geology technician already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
