1 Share of the farm milk controller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the poultry sexer 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A farm milk controller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a poultry sexer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held livestock selection principles agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held quality criteria for livestock feed production agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held livestock feeding agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held select livestock handling and moving
  • already held livestock reproduction agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held animal species natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 8 carried skills, including the 8 the farm milk controller 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.
