1 Share of the riveter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rustproofer 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A riveter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rustproofer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held manufacturing of metal assembly products engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held manufacturing of metal structures engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held manufacturing of metal containers engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held apply preliminary treatment to workpieces handling and moving
already held manufacturing of steam generators engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held remove inadequate workpieces handling and moving

All 17 carried skills, including the 8 the riveter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 20 missing skills fall into 7 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
