1 Share of the green ICT consultant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT environmental manager 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A green ICT consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT environmental manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held ICT power consumption information and communication technologies (icts)
already held resource-efficient technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held report on environmental issues communication, collaboration and creativity
already held ICT market business, administration and law
already held emergent technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held promote environmental awareness communication, collaboration and creativity

All 6 carried skills, including the 3 the green ICT consultant 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.
