Where a sorter labourer can go next

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

Sorter labourers sort recyclable materials and waste from a recycling stream, and ensure no unsuitable materials wind up among the recyclable materials. They inspect the materials and perform cleaning duties, and work in compliance with waste regulations.

Note

How these figures were compiled

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