1 Share of the cigar inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leaf tier 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

Why this move works

A cigar inspector role treats 13 of its required skills as things a leaf tier already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • assess the colour curing of tobacco leaves
  • check quality of products on the production line
  • curing methods for tobacco leaves

What stands in the way is 10 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cigar inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leaf tier background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held grade tobacco leaves handling and moving
  • already held manufacturing of by-products from tobacco engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of smokeless tobacco products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held assess the colour curing of tobacco leaves information skills
  • already held curing methods for tobacco leaves engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of smoked tobacco products engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 18 carried skills, including the 13 the cigar inspector role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 15 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

4 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.
