1 Share of the podcast producer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the broadcast technician 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 podcast producer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a broadcast technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • audio technology
  • audiovisual products
  • coordinate activities in audio recording studio
  • edit recorded sound
  • media formats

What stands in the way is 17 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 podcast producer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a broadcast technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held monitor quality of broadcasts working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held media formats arts and humanities
  • already held audio technology arts and humanities
  • already held coordinate activities in audio recording studio management skills
  • already held audiovisual products arts and humanities
  • already held record multi-track sound working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the podcast producer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
