1 Share of the water-based aquaculture worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture harvesting technician 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.

Why

Why this move works

A water-based aquaculture worker role treats 14 of its required skills as things a aquaculture harvesting technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • carry out fish disease prevention measures
  • carry out fish transportation
  • carry out preparations for fish disease specialist
  • collect dead fish
  • collect growth rate information
  • fish welfare regulations

What stands in the way is 22 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A water-based aquaculture worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture harvesting technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held carry out fish transportation handling and moving
  • already held collect growth rate information information skills
  • already held maintain fish harvesting equipment constructing
  • already held prepare fish treatment facilities handling and moving
  • already held apply fish harvest methods handling and moving
  • already held handle harvested fish handling and moving

All 28 carried skills, including the 14 the water-based aquaculture worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 29 missing skills fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

8 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
