1 Share of the control panel assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the control panel tester 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A control panel assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a control panel tester background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held control panel components information and communication technologies (icts)
already held switching devices engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held apply coating to electrical equipment constructing
already held adjust voltage working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held electrical wire accessories engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held interpret electrical diagrams information skills

All 28 carried skills, including the 13 the control panel assembler role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 28 missing skills fall into 8 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.
