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

Why

Why this move works

An aquaculture hatchery worker role treats 13 of its required skills as things an aquaculture rearing technician already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • biosecurity
  • carry out hatchery production processes
  • collect broodstock
  • condition broodstock
  • cultivate plankton
  • culture aquaculture hatchery stocks

What stands in the way is 13 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An aquaculture hatchery worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an aquaculture rearing technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held carry out hatchery production processes handling and moving
  • already held condition broodstock handling and moving
  • already held cultivate plankton handling and moving
  • already held maintain aquaculture water quality in hatcheries handling and moving
  • already held maintain hatchery equipment constructing
  • already held maintain hatchery facilities constructing

All 16 carried skills, including the 13 the aquaculture hatchery worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 27 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.

FAQ

Common questions about this move

Can an aquaculture rearing technician become an aquaculture hatchery worker?

Yes, and it is a substantial move. An aquaculture rearing technician already covers 44% of what an aquaculture hatchery worker is expected to do: 16 skills carry over, 13 of which the aquaculture hatchery worker role treats as required.

What skills does an aquaculture rearing technician need to become an aquaculture hatchery worker?

13 required skills are missing, plus 14 optional ones. They fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by handling and moving. The single most important is clean off fouling.

How hard is the move from aquaculture rearing technician to aquaculture hatchery worker?

Its learning distance is 64.8 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.

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.
