1 Share of the cocoa mill operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the refining machine 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 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cocoa mill operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a refining machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • 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 exert quality control to processing food information skills
  • already held clean food and beverage machinery handling and moving
  • already held be at ease in unsafe environments management skills
  • already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation in food production assisting and caring

All 18 carried skills, including the 8 the cocoa mill operator 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.
