54.6/ 100
1 How much of what a terrazzo setter supervisor is expected to do is already part of a terrazzo setter’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 terrazzo setter supervisor role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A terrazzo setter supervisor role treats 7 of its required skills as things a terrazzo setter already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- design floor
- follow health and safety procedures in construction
- inspect construction supplies
- keep records of work progress
- order construction supplies
- process incoming construction supplies
What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A terrazzo setter supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a terrazzo setter background worth leading with.
- already held grind terrazzo handling and moving
- already held grout terrazzo constructing
- already held lay terrazzo divider strips handling and moving
- already held maintain terrazzo constructing
- already held mix terrazzo material handling and moving
- already held pour terrazzo constructing
All 25 carried skills, including the 7 the terrazzo setter supervisor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 20 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
