1 Share of the footwear production machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the footwear production supervisor 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 footwear production machine operator role treats 8 of its required skills as things a footwear production supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • footwear components
  • footwear creation process
  • footwear equipments
  • footwear machinery
  • footwear materials
  • footwear quality

What stands in the way is 3 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 29 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 production supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held coordinate cutting room in footwear manufacturing management skills
  • already held coordinate closing room in footwear manufacturing management skills
  • already held footwear stitching techniques engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held footwear uppers pre-assembly engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply methods for footwear and leather goods manufacturing management skills
  • already held footwear bottoms pre-assembly engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 29 carried skills, including the 8 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.
