53%
44.8/ 100
1 Share of the regional development policy officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the community development officer 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 this move works
A regional development policy officer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a community development officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- advise on economic development
- advise on legislative acts
- government policy implementation
- liaise with local authorities
- maintain relations with local representatives
- maintain relationships with government agencies
What stands in the way is 3 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A regional development policy officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a community development officer background worth leading with.
- already held rural development strategies social sciences, journalism and information
- already held advise on economic development communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held carry out strategic research information skills
- already held analyse community needs communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held maintain relations with local representatives communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held advise on legislative acts communication, collaboration and creativity
All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the regional development policy officer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 18 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a regional development policy officer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 create solutions to problems skill · cross sector
- 02 government policy knowledge · cross sector
- 03 perform scientific research skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
