1 Share of the youth programme director role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the human rights officer 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 youth programme director role treats 6 of its required skills as things a human rights officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

establish collaborative relations
liaise with local authorities
maintain relations with local representatives
maintain relationships with government agencies
promote social awareness
promote social change

What stands in the way is 8 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A youth programme director role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a human rights officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held promote social awareness communication, collaboration and creativity
already held maintain relations with local representatives communication, collaboration and creativity
already held maintain relationships with government agencies communication, collaboration and creativity
already held show intercultural awareness communication, collaboration and creativity
already held promote social change communication, collaboration and creativity
already held establish collaborative relations communication, collaboration and creativity

All 7 carried skills, including the 6 the youth programme director 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.
