1 Share of the metal engraver role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery engraver 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A metal engraver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a jewellery engraver background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held prepare etching chemicals handling and moving
already held ensure accurate engravings working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held compute engraving dimensions information skills
already held inspect etched work information skills
already held select engraving templates handling and moving
already held verify engraving accuracy information skills

All 17 carried skills, including the 6 the metal engraver 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.
