vineyard workertohop farmer
A vineyard worker already meets 20% of what the hop farmer role asks for. The move turns on 19 required skills not yet in the profile.
20%
82.6/ 100
1 Share of the hop farmer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the vineyard worker 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 this move works
A hop farmer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a vineyard worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- execute fertilisation
- grow plants
- operate hand pruning equipment
- propagate plants
What stands in the way is 19 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hop farmer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vineyard worker background worth leading with.
- already held operate hand pruning equipment handling and moving
- already held execute fertilisation working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held propagate plants handling and moving
- already held assign duties to agriculture workers management skills
- already held grow plants handling and moving
- already held fertilisation principles agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
All 9 carried skills, including the 4 the hop farmer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a hop farmer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 cultivate hops skill · occupation specific
- 02 hop cultivation knowledge · occupation specific
- 03 advise on beer production skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
