1 Share of the dairy products manufacturing worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the milk heat treatment process operator profile.

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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dairy products manufacturing worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a milk heat treatment process operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held ultra-high temperature processing engineering, manufacturing and construction

already held dairy manufacturing specifications engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held microbiology of fresh milk engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held operate centrifuges working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held operate pasteurisation processes working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 27 carried skills, including the 18 the dairy products manufacturing worker 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.
