Transferable Occupation
Relationship Quotient™

(TORQ)
Provides a measure of "transferability"
between occupations based on
abilities, skills, and knowledge
 TORQ Home Page:
http://torq3.torqworks.net
Transferable Occupation
Relationship Quotient™
(TORQ)
 An analytical tool that links occupations based on the abilities, skills,
and knowledge required by workers in a vast number of occupations
 A software that produces one single convenient measurement that
defines "transferability" between occupations based on the abilities,
skills, and knowledge from the vast O*NET™ database from the
Department of Labor
 A system that expands the notion of career pathways into an
interconnected web of possibilities based on the factors that really
matter for career mobility – not a specific job that someone is doing
or has done, but what someone is capable of doing
Transferable Occupation
Relationship Quotient™
(TORQ)
TORQ’s
unique value is its ability to quantify the challenge
of transitioning from one occupation to another based on a
proprietary algorithm and O*NET’s official dataset.
The
“Grand TORQ Score” for any combination of two
occupations is a number from 0-100: the higher the number,
the easier it is to transition from one occupation to another.
TORQ
will allow One-Stop staff to better assist clients in
identifying their abilities, skills, and knowledge. The ASKs
identified will aid in analyzing other occupations in demand
that may be suitable for the clients and into which they can
easily transition.
Transferable Occupation
Relationship Quotient™
(TORQ)
Single Occupation Analysis

Allows One-Stop Shop career counselors to provide a vast array of data
for customers considering alternate career paths
Reemployment Analysis

Helps One-Stop Shop career counselors direct customers into careers to
which they could easily transition
Economic Development Analysis

Grants One-Stop Shop career counselors the ability to provide a pool of
source occupations from which workers for a specific targeted
occupation could be pulled
