1 How much of what a publications coordinator is expected to do is already part of a social entrepreneur’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 publications coordinator role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A publications coordinator role treats 7 of its required skills as things a social entrepreneur already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

apply social media marketing
digital communication and collaboration
digital marketing techniques
manage budgets
manage staff
perform project management

What stands in the way is 15 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

The 32 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in.

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.
