1 Share of the cider master role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the oenologist 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 cider master role treats 16 of its required skills as things a oenologist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse samples of food and beverages
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • assist bottling
  • biotechnology

What stands in the way is 20 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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cider master role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a oenologist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held assist bottling handling and moving
  • already held prepare containers for beverage fermentation handling and moving
  • already held operate pasteurisation processes working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set production facilities standards management skills
  • already held fermentation processes of beverages engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held attend to detail in preparation for audits assisting and caring

All 22 carried skills, including the 16 the cider master role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 missing skills fall into 8 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.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
