1 Share of the engineered wood board grader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the veneer grader 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A engineered wood board grader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a veneer grader background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held revise quality control systems documentation information skills
  • already held use non-destructive testing equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prepare samples for testing handling and moving
  • already held meet contract specifications communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held set quality assurance objectives management skills
  • already held perform sample testing information skills

All 23 carried skills, including the 9 the engineered wood board grader role treats as required.

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.
