Where a probation officer can go next

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

Probation officers supervise offenders after their release, or who were sentenced to penalties outside of incarceration. They write reports providing advice on the offender's sentence and analysis concerning possibilities of reoffense. They aid the offenders during the rehabilitation and reintegration process and ensure the offenders carry out their community service sentence when necessary.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a probation officer 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.
