1 Share of the chocolate moulding operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the liquor grinding mill 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A chocolate moulding operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a liquor grinding mill operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held process from cacao to chocolate engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held types of chocolate engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held mould chocolate handling and moving
  • already held keep machines oiled for steady functioning constructing
  • already held set up equipment for food production working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held monitor temperature in manufacturing process of food and beverages assisting and caring

All 13 carried skills, including the 5 the chocolate moulding operator role treats as required.

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.
