Where a event scaffolder can go next

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

Event scaffolders set up and dismantle temporary seating, stages and structures which support performance equipment, artists and the audience. Their job can include rope access, working above colleagues and lifting heavy loads, which makes it a high risk occupation. Their work is based on instruction, plans and calculations. They work indoors as well as outdoors.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a event scaffolder 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.
