crop production workertohop farmer
A crop production worker already meets 46% of what the hop farmer role asks for. The move turns on 14 required skills not yet in the profile.
46%
61.8/ 100
1 Share of the hop farmer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the crop production 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 this move works
A hop farmer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a crop production worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- execute fertilisation
- grow plants
- harvest crop
- maintain storage facilities
- monitor fields
- plant propagation
What stands in the way is 14 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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hop farmer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a crop production worker background worth leading with.
- already held manage crop rotation handling and moving
- already held monitor fields handling and moving
- already held store crops handling and moving
- already held maintain storage facilities handling and moving
- already held plant propagation agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held apply sustainable tillage techniques handling and moving
All 22 carried skills, including the 9 the hop farmer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 19 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a hop farmer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 cultivate hops skill · occupation specific
- 02 hop cultivation knowledge · occupation specific
- 03 advise on beer production skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice
Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

- optional, not held agritourism optional
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.
