- KSA is an abbreviation for knowledge, skills, and abilities. The Federal Government and many other employers use this format to describe work-related competences in a series of narrative statements. KSAs are used to determine, along with résumés, who the best applicants are when several candidates qualify for a job.
- The first letter, K, stands for work-related knowledge. This refers to a body of knowledge that is applied directly to a particular employment vacancy. In plain English, this is what the employment candidate needs to know.
- The second letter, S, stands for work-related skills. This refers to the set of skills that the employment candidate must possess to be hired.
- The second letter, A, stands for work-related abilities or the set of the candidate's capacities.
- A skill is a particular ability that is developed through training and experience; this is a learned ability that its owner can use.
