1 Share of the mattress making machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the canvas goods assembler 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 mattress making machine operator role treats 3 of its required skills as things a canvas goods assembler already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • properties of textile materials
  • sew pieces of fabric
  • sew textile-based articles

What stands in the way is 7 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mattress making machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a canvas goods assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create patterns for textile products handling and moving
  • already held use manual sewing techniques handling and moving
  • already held sew textile-based articles handling and moving
  • already held sew pieces of fabric working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held pack goods handling and moving
  • already held properties of textile materials engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 6 carried skills, including the 3 the mattress making machine operator role treats as required.

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.
