1 How much of what an aquaculture recirculation manager 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 recirculation manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

An aquaculture recirculation manager role treats 10 of its required skills as things an aquaculture rearing technician already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

carry out fish disease prevention measures
ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
fish biology
fish identification and classification
fishing industry
monitor fish health status

What stands in the way is 24 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An aquaculture recirculation manager 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 encourage teambuilding management skills
already held carry out fish disease prevention measures handling and moving
already held treat fish diseases handling and moving
already held monitor fish health status information skills
already held provide on-site training in aquaculture facilities communication, collaboration and creativity
already held ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety assisting and caring

All 13 carried skills, including the 10 the aquaculture recirculation manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 35 missing skills fall into 13 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.

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.
