24/ 100
1 How much of what a tyre vulcaniser is expected to do is already part of a tyre fitter’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 tyre vulcaniser role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A tyre vulcaniser role treats 11 of its required skills as things a tyre fitter already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- adjust bag inside tyres
- apply rubber patches
- balance tyres
- clamp tyre into mould
- clean tyres
- coat inside of tyres
What stands in the way is 2 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tyre vulcaniser role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tyre fitter background worth leading with.
- already held adjust bag inside tyres constructing
- already held apply rubber patches handling and moving
- already held balance tyres information skills
- already held clamp tyre into mould handling and moving
- already held coat inside of tyres constructing
- already held sell tyres communication, collaboration and creativity
All 19 carried skills, including the 11 the tyre vulcaniser role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 7 missing skills fall into 5 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.
- still to learn adjust vulcanizing machine required
- optional, not held operate warehouse materials optional
- still to learn wear appropriate protective gear required
- optional, not held cold vulcanisation optional
- optional, not held hot vulcanisation optional
- optional, not held sort waste optional
- optional, not held ensure efficient utilisation of warehouse space optional
