1 Share of the sewing machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the glove maker 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sewing machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a glove maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manufacture personal protective equipment made of textile working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manufacture wearing apparel products handling and moving
  • already held operate garment manufacturing machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held apparel manufacturing technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held decorate textile articles working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held use textile technique for hand-made products handling and moving

All 9 carried skills, including the 6 the sewing 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.
