1 Share of the horse breeder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the equine worker 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 horse breeder role treats 6 of its required skills as things a equine worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • animal welfare legislation
  • assist animal birth
  • control animal movement
  • equine dental diseases
  • livestock species
  • train horses

What stands in the way is 26 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A horse breeder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a equine worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held equine dental diseases agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held train horses handling and moving
  • already held assist animal birth handling and moving
  • already held livestock species natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held control animal movement handling and moving
  • already held animal welfare legislation business, administration and law

All 6 carried skills, including the 6 the horse breeder role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 39 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.

7 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
