Zone 2: Some Preparation Needed

Some preparation. Usually a high school diploma, some previous work-related skill or experience, and a few months to a year of training with experienced workers.

Job Zone is O*NET's rating of how much education, experience and training an occupation typically needs — a property of the work, not of anyone doing it.

Job Zone and interest data are borrowed from Textile Winding, Twisting, and Drawing Out Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders (51-6064.00): in the official ESCO–O*NET crosswalk, a broader O*NET occupation that includes this one, and the best-ranked match that has them. ESCO doesn't publish them directly.
