1 Share of the glass artist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ceramicist 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 glass artist role treats 6 of its required skills as things a ceramicist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • art history
  • contextualise artistic work
  • develop an artistic framework
  • gather reference materials for artwork
  • intellectual property law
  • labour legislation

What stands in the way is 11 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A glass artist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ceramicist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plan art educational activities management skills
  • already held participate in artistic mediation activities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held present exhibition communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop an artistic framework communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assess conservation needs information skills
  • already held develop artistic project budgets information skills

All 14 carried skills, including the 6 the glass artist role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
