1 Share of the aquaculture production manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture site supervisor 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 production manager role treats 12 of its required skills as things a aquaculture site supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

control aquatic production environment
design principles of containment systems
develop management plans to reduce risks in aquaculture
ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
escapee contingency plans
fishing industry

What stands in the way is 27 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture production manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture site supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held design principles of containment systems agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held fresh water ecosystems agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held supervise aquaculture facilities management skills
already held escapee contingency plans agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held implement contingency plans for escapees communication, collaboration and creativity
already held develop management plans to reduce risks in aquaculture information skills

All 15 carried skills, including the 12 the aquaculture production manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 48 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.
