1 Share of the artificial intelligence engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT business analyst 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 artificial intelligence engineer role treats 10 of its required skills as things a ICT business analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse business requirements
  • business process modelling
  • define technical requirements
  • design process
  • information architecture
  • information categorisation

What stands in the way is 21 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A artificial intelligence engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT business analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held information categorisation social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held information architecture information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held design process communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held analyse business requirements information skills
  • already held business process modelling business, administration and law
  • already held information extraction information and communication technologies (icts)

All 11 carried skills, including the 10 the artificial intelligence engineer role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 78 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
