ICT trainertodigital literacy teacher
A ICT trainer already meets 27% of what the digital literacy teacher role asks for. The move turns on 22 required skills not yet in the profile.
27%
77.3/ 100
1 Share of the digital literacy teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT trainer 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 this move works
A digital literacy teacher role treats 8 of its required skills as things a ICT trainer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply teaching strategies
- assess students
- design web-based courses
- develop digital educational materials
- digital systems
- e-learning
What stands in the way is 22 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A digital literacy teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT trainer background worth leading with.
- already held technology education education
- already held create SCORM packages management skills
- already held e-learning software infrastructure information and communication technologies (icts)
- already held design web-based courses communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held develop digital educational materials communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held e-learning education
All 14 carried skills, including the 8 the digital literacy teacher role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 38 missing skills fall into 10 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.

4 further areas in the appendix
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a digital literacy teacher role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 Computer Assisted Language Learning knowledge · occupation specific
- 02 ICT software specifications knowledge · sector specific
- 03 instructional strategies knowledge · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
