1 Share of the distillery miller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the distillery supervisor 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 distillery miller role treats 10 of its required skills as things a distillery supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • blend beverages
  • execute proofs of alcohol mixture
  • inspect insects in whole grain

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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A distillery miller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a distillery supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held execute proofs of alcohol mixture handling and moving
  • already held inspect insects in whole grain information skills
  • already held operate distilling equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prepare containers for beverage distillation handling and moving
  • already held appropriate raw materials for specific spirits engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held take measures against flammability assisting and caring

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the distillery miller role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 7 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.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
