1 Share of the bleacher operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the lacquer maker 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bleacher operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a lacquer maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held measure materials information skills
already held dispose of hazardous waste handling and moving
already held report defective manufacturing materials information skills
already held perform machine maintenance working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held record production data for quality control information skills
already held supply machine working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 10 carried skills, including the 6 the bleacher operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 22 missing skills fall into 6 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.
