1 Share of the pasta maker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the confectioner 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 pasta maker role treats 10 of its required skills as things a confectioner already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • administer ingredients in food production
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • ensure correct use of bakery equipment
  • follow hygienic procedures during food processing

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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pasta maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a confectioner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure correct use of bakery equipment assisting and caring
  • already held improvise to occuring food processing situations handling and moving
  • already held monitor temperature in farinaceous processes working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held apply extruding techniques working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held knead food products handling and moving
  • already held operate mixing of food products working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 22 carried skills, including the 10 the pasta maker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 12 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.

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.
