Where a plasterer can go next

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

Plasterers apply plaster made from gypsum, cement or other solutions to walls as a smooth finish. They mix dry plaster powder with water, then smear the resulting paste onto a wall. The plaster is then smoothed before it hardens and forms a solid coating on the wall.

How these figures were compiled

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