Employee volunteering programme coordinator to corporate social responsibility manager
An employee volunteering programme coordinator already meets 15% of what the corporate social responsibility manager role asks for. The move turns on 22 required skills not yet in the profile.
85.3/ 100
1 How much of what a corporate social responsibility manager is expected to do is already part of an employee volunteering programme coordinator’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 corporate social responsibility manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A corporate social responsibility manager role treats 5 of its required skills as things an employee volunteering programme coordinator already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- corporate social responsibility
- data analytics
- monitor social impact
- promote inclusion
- sustainable development goals
What stands in the way is 22 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 corporate social responsibility manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an employee volunteering programme coordinator background worth leading with.
- already held monitor social impact information skills
- already held sustainable development goals social sciences, journalism and information
- already held data analytics information and communication technologies (icts)
- already held corporate social responsibility business, administration and law
- already held promote inclusion assisting and caring
- already held project management business, administration and law
All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the corporate social responsibility manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 43 missing skills fall into 8 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.

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.
