1 Share of the water-based aquaculture worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture husbandry worker 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 22 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 husbandry worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held prepare fish holding units handling and moving
already held stock fish handling and moving
already held collect growth rate information information skills
already held measure the impact of specific aquaculture activity information skills
already held transport fish handling and moving
already held operation of transport equipment services

All 22 carried skills, including the 15 the water-based aquaculture worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 35 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.

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.
