44.7/ 100

1 Share of the aquaculture hatchery technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture rearing 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 aquaculture hatchery technician role treats 22 of its required skills as things a aquaculture rearing technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • aquaculture reproduction
  • carry out feeding operations
  • carry out hatchery production processes
  • collect broodstock
  • condition broodstock
  • culture aquaculture hatchery stocks

What stands in the way is 8 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 aquaculture hatchery technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture rearing technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held use aquacultural heating equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held carry out hatchery production processes handling and moving
  • already held condition broodstock handling and moving
  • already held induce spawning and fertilisation on aquaculture species handling and moving
  • already held maintain hatchery equipment constructing
  • already held maintain hatchery facilities constructing

All 28 carried skills, including the 22 the aquaculture hatchery technician role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 19 missing skills fall into 9 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.

7 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
