1 Share of the event scaffolder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the event electrician 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A event scaffolder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a event electrician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held assemble performance equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held organise resources for artistic production management skills
  • already held store performance equipment handling and moving
  • already held manage technical resources stock management skills
  • already held work with respect for own safety assisting and caring
  • already held use technical documentation information skills

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 the event scaffolder role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
