Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the made-up textile articles manufacturer role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A made-up textile articles manufacturer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a protective clothing apparel manufacturer already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • bundle fabrics
  • cut fabrics
  • distinguish accessories
  • distinguish fabrics

What stands in the way is 6 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A made-up textile articles manufacturer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a protective clothing apparel manufacturer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held bundle fabrics handling and moving
  • already held cut fabrics handling and moving
  • already held sew pieces of fabric working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held distinguish accessories information skills
  • already held distinguish fabrics information skills

All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the made-up textile articles manufacturer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 9 missing skills fall into 3 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
