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

Kiln firers operate kilns in order to fire decorations or glazes. They determine the level and uniformity of oven temperature, regulate the temperature, and give directions to a helper in preparing firebox and lighting fires.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a kiln firer 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.
