1 Share of the fisheries engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries boatmaster 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries boatmaster background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held quality of fish products agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held fishing vessels agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships business, administration and law
already held fisheries legislation agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held international regulations for preventing collisions at sea business, administration and law
already held survive at sea in the event of ship abandonment assisting and caring

All 12 carried skills, including the 9 the fisheries engineering technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 16 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
