1 Share of the pre-stitching machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the footwear maintenance technician 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 pre-stitching machine operator role treats 10 of its required skills as things a footwear maintenance technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply pre-stitching techniques
  • footwear components
  • footwear equipments
  • footwear machinery
  • footwear manufacturing technology
  • footwear materials

What stands in the way is 5 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pre-stitching machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a footwear maintenance technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held footwear stitching techniques engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held pre-stitching processes and techniques for footwear and leather goods engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply pre-stitching techniques working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held footwear equipments engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held footwear machinery engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held footwear manufacturing technology engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 13 carried skills, including the 10 the pre-stitching 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.
