1 Share of the aquaculture hatchery manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture hatchery 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture hatchery manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture hatchery technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held hatchery design agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held genetic selection programme natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
already held induce spawning and fertilisation on aquaculture species handling and moving
already held maintain the production of juveniles at the nursery stage handling and moving
already held manage capture broodstock operations handling and moving
already held sanitation measures for aquaculture hatchery production services

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the aquaculture hatchery manager 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.
