1 Share of the footwear maintenance technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the footwear quality controller 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 maintenance technician role treats 12 of its required skills as things a footwear quality controller already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • create solutions to problems
  • footwear components
  • footwear equipments
  • footwear machinery
  • footwear manufacturing technology
  • footwear materials

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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A footwear maintenance technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a footwear quality controller background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held footwear stitching techniques engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held assembling processes and techniques for california footwear construction engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held assembling processes and techniques for cemented footwear construction engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held assembling processes and techniques for goodyear footwear construction engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held automatic cutting systems for footwear and leather goods engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held pre-stitching processes and techniques for footwear and leather goods engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 19 carried skills, including the 12 the footwear maintenance technician 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.
