43.2/ 100

1 Share of the flour purifier operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dairy products manufacturing 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 flour purifier operator role treats 10 of its required skills as things a dairy products manufacturing worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • carry out checks of production plant equipment
  • collect samples for analysis
  • follow hygienic procedures during food processing

What stands in the way is 5 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A flour purifier operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dairy products manufacturing worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held secure goods handling and moving
  • already held food safety principles services
  • already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
  • already held dispose food waste handling and moving
  • already held follow production schedule management skills
  • already held follow written instructions communication, collaboration and creativity

All 15 carried skills, including the 10 the flour purifier operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 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.
