40.9/ 100

1 Share of the electromechanical drafter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrical drafter 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 electromechanical drafter role treats 18 of its required skills as things a electrical drafter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAD software
  • create technical plans
  • customise drafts
  • design drawings
  • design electromechanical systems
  • design prototypes

What stands in the way is 3 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 34 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electromechanical drafter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electrical drafter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held customise drafts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held review drafts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held design electrical systems communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held design electromechanical systems communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held interpret electrical diagrams information skills
  • already held electrical wiring diagrams engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 34 carried skills, including the 18 the electromechanical drafter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 25 missing skills fall into 9 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.
