1 Share of the knowledge engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the user interface designer 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 49 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A knowledge engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a user interface designer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held natural language processing arts and humanities
already held task algorithmisation information and communication technologies (icts)
already held use query languages working with computers
already held cognitive psychology social sciences, journalism and information
already held web programming information and communication technologies (icts)
already held use markup languages working with computers

All 49 carried skills, including the 8 the knowledge engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 40 missing skills fall into 8 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.

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.
