1 How much of what a cacao beans cleaner is expected to do is already part of a fruit and vegetable canner’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the cacao beans cleaner role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A cacao beans cleaner role treats 7 of its required skills as things a fruit and vegetable canner already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • carry out checks of production plant equipment
  • exert quality control to processing food
  • perform detailed food processing operations

What stands in the way is 7 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cacao beans cleaner role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fruit and vegetable canner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work in conveyor belts in food manufacturing working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform detailed food processing operations working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held analyse characteristics of food products at reception information skills
  • already held exert quality control to processing food information skills
  • already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
  • already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation in food production assisting and caring

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the cacao beans cleaner role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 15 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
