1 Share of the fruit-press operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fish production 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.

Why

Why this move works

A fruit-press operator role treats 9 of its required skills as things a fish production operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • be at ease in unsafe environments
  • clean food and beverage machinery

What stands in the way is 7 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fruit-press operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fish production operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held set up equipment for food production working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held clean food and beverage machinery handling and moving
  • already held ensure sanitation handling and moving
  • already held be at ease in unsafe environments management skills
  • already held dispose food waste handling and moving
  • already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation in food production assisting and caring

All 14 carried skills, including the 9 the fruit-press operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 16 missing skills fall into 8 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.

2 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.
