1 Share of the environmental expert role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture environmental analyst 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A environmental expert role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture environmental analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held assess environmental plans against financial costs management skills
already held perform environmental investigations information skills
already held environmental economics social sciences, journalism and information
already held carry out training in environmental matters communication, collaboration and creativity
already held ecosystem management business, administration and law
already held environmental design engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 17 carried skills, including the 11 the environmental expert 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.
