1 Share of the electromechanical equipment assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electronic equipment assembler 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 equipment assembler role treats 11 of its required skills as things a electronic equipment assembler already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

align components
apply health and safety standards
assemble electronic units
electricity
electromechanics
electronics

What stands in the way is 12 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 38 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electromechanical equipment assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electronic equipment assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held attach power cords to electric module handling and moving
already held clean components during assembly handling and moving
already held maintain mechatronic equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held determine suitability of materials communication, collaboration and creativity
already held operate printing machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held 3D printing process arts and humanities

All 38 carried skills, including the 11 the electromechanical equipment assembler role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 25 missing skills fall into 6 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.
