1 Share of the system configurator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT technician 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 47 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A system configurator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held configure ICT system working with computers
already held Open source model information and communication technologies (icts)
already held Outsourcing model information and communication technologies (icts)
already held hybrid model information and communication technologies (icts)
already held ICT system user requirements information and communication technologies (icts)
already held ICT debugging tools information and communication technologies (icts)

All 47 carried skills, including the 3 the system configurator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 45 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.

32 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
