66%
39.5/ 100
1 Share of the cutting machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leather goods hand cutting operator 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 cutting machine operator role treats 14 of its required skills as things a leather goods hand cutting operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply basic rules of maintenance to leather goods and footwear machinery
- apply machine cutting techniques for footwear and leather goods
- cut footwear uppers
- footwear components
- footwear equipments
- footwear machinery
What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

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.
