1 How much of what a print studio supervisor is expected to do is already part of a sewerage systems manager’s work. 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 print studio supervisor role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A print studio supervisor role treats 13 of its required skills as things a sewerage systems manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • create manufacturing guidelines
  • define manufacturing quality criteria
  • develop manufacturing policies
  • ensure equipment availability
  • follow company standards

What stands in the way is 12 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A print studio supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sewerage systems manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create manufacturing guidelines management skills
  • already held develop manufacturing policies management skills
  • already held define manufacturing quality criteria management skills
  • already held strive for company growth management skills
  • already held plan health and safety procedures management skills
  • already held manage supplies management skills

All 15 carried skills, including the 13 the print studio supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 43 missing skills fall into 11 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.
