1 Share of the weaving machine operator 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.

Why

Why this move works

A weaving machine operator role treats 6 of its required skills as things a carpet handicraft worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • control textile process
  • manufacture textile floor coverings
  • tend weaving machines
  • types of textile fibres
  • use weaving machine technologies
  • work in textile manufacturing teams

What stands in the way is 5 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A weaving machine operator 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 manufacture textile floor coverings working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held tend weaving machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held maintain machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held produce textile designs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held types of textile fibres engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held textile industry engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 11 carried skills, including the 6 the weaving machine operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 14 missing skills fall into 6 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.

6 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
