1 Share of the aquaculture husbandry manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture husbandry 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 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture husbandry manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture husbandry technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held aquaculture cultivation equipment agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held monitor feeding systems constructing
already held calculate aquatic resources growth rate information skills
already held ensure cage safety requirements are followed assisting and caring
already held escapee contingency plans agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held implement contingency plans for escapees communication, collaboration and creativity

All 26 carried skills, including the 16 the aquaculture husbandry manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 missing skills fall into 11 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.

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.
