1 How much of what a rescue diver is expected to do is already part of an aquaculture hatchery worker’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 rescue diver role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A rescue diver role treats 5 of its required skills as things an aquaculture hatchery worker already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • check diving equipment
  • comply with legal requirements for diving operations
  • diving operation requirements
  • maintain diving equipment
  • perform diving interventions

What stands in the way is 20 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A rescue diver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an aquaculture hatchery worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held comply with legal requirements for diving operations assisting and caring
  • already held critique the dive with the dive team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held diving operation requirements services
  • already held check diving equipment constructing
  • already held perform diving interventions handling and moving
  • already held maintain diving equipment constructing

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the rescue diver role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 7 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.

What skills does an aquaculture hatchery worker need to become a rescue diver?

20 required skills are missing, plus 4 optional ones. They fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by assisting and caring. The single most important is apply crisis management.

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.
