47.5/ 100
1 How much of what a wearing apparel presser is expected to do is already part of an embroidery machine operator’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 wearing apparel presser role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A wearing apparel presser role treats 4 of its required skills as things an embroidery machine operator already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- coordinate manufacturing production activities
- manufacture wearing apparel products
- manufacturing of made-up textile articles
- manufacturing of wearing apparel
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A wearing apparel presser role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an embroidery machine operator background worth leading with.

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the wearing apparel presser role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 6 missing skills fall into 4 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.
