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

  • apply a protective layer
  • create smooth wood surface
  • operate wood sawing equipment
  • sand wood
  • types of wood

What stands in the way is 15 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cabinet maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a brush maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held dye wood handling and moving
  • already held stain wood handling and moving
  • already held operate wood sawing equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held create smooth wood surface handling and moving
  • already held sand wood handling and moving
  • already held apply a protective layer constructing

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the cabinet maker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 36 missing skills fall into 7 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.
