1 Share of the yeast distiller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cider fermentation operator 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A yeast distiller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cider fermentation operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held vinegar fermentation process engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held temperature scales natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held clean food and beverage machinery handling and moving
  • already held work in a food processing team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held collect samples for analysis handling and moving
  • already held act reliably communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 the yeast distiller role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 missing skills fall into 5 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.

2 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
