1 Share of the aquaculture harvesting technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture cage mooring worker profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture harvesting technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture cage mooring worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held handle fish harvesting waste handling and moving

already held collect growth rate information information skills
already held apply fish harvest methods handling and moving

All 20 carried skills, including the 17 the aquaculture harvesting technician role treats as required.

Note

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.
