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

Why

Why this move works

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

  • cooperate with colleagues
  • ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
  • fishing industry
  • lead a team
  • make time-critical decisions
  • manage teamwork

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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An aquaculture mooring manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an aquaculture recirculation manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held participate in the organisation of emergency drills management skills
  • already held fish welfare regulations agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety assisting and caring
  • already held make time-critical decisions management skills
  • already held operate an emergency communication system working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held fishing industry agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 14 carried skills, including the 10 the aquaculture mooring manager role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 27 missing skills fall into 9 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.

What skills does an aquaculture recirculation manager need to become an aquaculture mooring manager?

13 required skills are missing, plus 14 optional ones. They fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is plan aquaculture cage mooring system.

How hard is the move from aquaculture recirculation manager to aquaculture mooring manager?

Its learning distance is 67.5 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.
