1 Share of the leaf tier role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the curing room 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leaf tier role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a curing room worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tie tobacco leaves in hands handling and moving
  • already held assess sugar levels in tobacco leaves information skills
  • already held cure tobacco leaves handling and moving
  • already held dry tobacco leaves handling and moving
  • already held operate tobacco drying technology working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform tobacco leaves conditioning handling and moving

All 23 carried skills, including the 16 the leaf tier role treats as required.

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.
