1 How much of what a hairdressing vocational teacher is expected to do is already part of an electronics and automation vocational teacher’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the hairdressing vocational teacher role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A hairdressing vocational teacher role treats 21 of its required skills as things an electronics and automation vocational teacher already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • adapt training to labour market
  • apply intercultural teaching strategies
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assessment processes

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 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hairdressing vocational teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an electronics and automation vocational teacher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work in vocational school communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adapt training to labour market information skills
  • already held assign homework management skills
  • already held maintain students' discipline management skills
  • already held disability types health and welfare
  • already held manage student relationships communication, collaboration and creativity

All 25 carried skills, including the 21 the hairdressing vocational teacher role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 19 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
