1 Share of the carpet weaver role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the carpet handicraft worker 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.

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A carpet weaver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a carpet handicraft worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tufting technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held types of carpet engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held place orders for textile materials communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manufacture textile floor coverings working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held produce textile designs communication, collaboration and creativity

All 22 carried skills, including the 13 the carpet weaver role treats as required.

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.
