47/ 100

1 Share of the kettle tender role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the starch converting 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.

Why

Why this move works

A kettle tender role treats 6 of its required skills as things a starch converting operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • carry out checks of production plant equipment
  • monitor temperature in manufacturing process of food and beverages
  • temperature scales

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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A kettle tender role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a starch converting operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held temperature scales natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held monitor temperature in manufacturing process of food and beverages assisting and caring
  • already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
  • already held follow verbal instructions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held follow written instructions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation in food production assisting and caring

All 10 carried skills, including the 6 the kettle tender role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 9 missing skills fall into 5 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.

The 3 entries a kettle tender role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

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

1 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
