Hi Kulkarni,
Steps to Prepare a Skill Matrix for X-ray Technician and Maintenance Executive
1. Understand and list all the activities the X-ray technician would perform in their role.
2. For each of these activities, have the individual rate their skill level on a scale of 1-5 (1 being zero knowledge/skill and 5 being expert/trainer level skill).
3. Compare the self-assessed rating of the individual with the target skill rating provided by their manager or leader.
4. The gap between the target skill required and the self-assessment by the individual will help you prioritize their training needs. Based on this, the team training leader can arrange for training.
Tips for Effective Training
- To ensure the individual gains basic knowledge of all activities, initial onboarding for this role is recommended. This will help the individual reach a level of 2 on the rating scale of 1-5 in most knowledge/skill areas.
- After onboarding, let the individual spend some time with a senior/expert for the next 6 months. During this period, they will learn better tips and gain confidence to work independently. This will help them reach a rating of 3, indicating adequate knowledge/skill to work independently. Similarly, an individual can achieve a 4 or 5 rating depending on the expertise gained in operation and troubleshooting of equipment.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
K. Kumar
