35%
56.4/ 100
1 Share of the leather goods packing operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hand packer 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 this move works
A leather goods packing operator role treats 4 of its required skills as things a hand packer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- pack goods
- pack leather
- perform packing of footwear and leather goods
- use packaging equipment
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leather goods packing operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hand packer background worth leading with.
- already held use packaging equipment handling and moving
- already held pack leather handling and moving
- already held perform packing of footwear and leather goods handling and moving
- already held pack goods handling and moving
All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the leather goods packing operator role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
