head of higher education institutionstosecondary school head teacher
A head of higher education institutions already meets 68% of what the secondary school head teacher role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 41 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the secondary school head teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the head of higher education institutions 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 · What you already bring
Of the 34 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A secondary school head teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a head of higher education institutions background worth leading with.
- already held lead board meetings management skills
- already held manage school budget management skills
- already held manage space utilisation management skills
- already held trade union regulations services
- already held liaise with board members communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held manage government-funded programmes management skills
All 34 carried skills, including the 18 the secondary school head teacher role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start

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.
