1 Share of the aviation surveillance and code coordination manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aviation data communications manager 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 aviation surveillance and code coordination manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a aviation data communications manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply technical communication skills
  • common aviation safety regulations
  • manage data
  • perform risk analysis
  • use different communication channels
  • work in an aviation team

What stands in the way is 12 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation surveillance and code coordination manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aviation data communications manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work in an aviation team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage data information skills
  • already held common aviation safety regulations business, administration and law
  • already held perform multiple tasks at the same time management skills
  • already held perform risk analysis information skills
  • already held apply technical communication skills communication, collaboration and creativity

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the aviation surveillance and code coordination manager role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 21 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.

8 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.
