1 Share of the veneer slicer operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the engineered wood board machine operator 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A veneer slicer operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a engineered wood board machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held inspect machinery constructing
  • already held replace sawing blade on machine handling and moving
  • already held operate wood sawing equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prepare wood production reports information skills
  • already held conduct routine machinery checks working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held dispose of cutting waste material handling and moving

All 24 carried skills, including the 13 the veneer slicer operator role treats as required.

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.
