Adult literacy teacher to electronics and automation vocational teacher
An adult literacy teacher already meets 57% of what the electronics and automation vocational teacher role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
50.4/ 100
1 How much of what an electronics and automation vocational teacher is expected to do is already part of an adult literacy teacher’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the electronics and automation vocational teacher role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An electronics and automation vocational teacher role treats 18 of its required skills as things an adult literacy teacher already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- adapt teaching to student's capabilities
- apply intercultural teaching strategies
- apply teaching strategies
- assess students
- assessment processes
- assign homework
What stands in the way is 8 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An electronics and automation vocational teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an adult literacy teacher background worth leading with.
- already held assign homework management skills
- already held manage student relationships communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held instructional strategies education
- already held adapt teaching to student's capabilities communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held teamwork principles generic programmes and qualifications
- already held assist students with equipment assisting and caring
All 21 carried skills, including the 18 the electronics and automation vocational teacher role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 26 missing skills fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
