1 Share of the leaf tier role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cigar brander 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leaf tier role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cigar brander background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manufacturing of smoked tobacco products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held variety of tobacco leaves engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held determine shreds sizes percentage in cigarettes information skills
  • already held adapt efficient food processing practices information skills
  • already held mark differences in colours handling and moving
  • already held perform cleaning duties handling and moving

All 14 carried skills, including the 7 the leaf tier 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.
