1 Share of the casting machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the coquille casting worker 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 casting machine operator role treats 5 of its required skills as things a coquille casting worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assemble metal parts
  • ferrous metal processing
  • handle metal work orders
  • non-ferrous metal processing
  • remove finished casts

What stands in the way is 18 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A casting machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a coquille casting worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held handle metal work orders management skills
  • already held remove finished casts handling and moving
  • already held operate metal heating equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held communicate using non-verbal language communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage time in casting processes management skills
  • already held follow manufacturing work schedule management skills

All 10 carried skills, including the 5 the casting machine operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 26 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.

7 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
