1 Share of the footwear production machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the footwear 3D developer 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A footwear production machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a footwear 3D developer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held CAD for footwear engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held footwear industry engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held ergonomics in footwear and leather goods design engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held footwear creation process engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held footwear components engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held footwear materials engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the footwear production machine 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.
