1 Share of the vineyard machinery operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the viticulture adviser 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

Why this move works

A vineyard machinery operator role treats 2 of its required skills as things a viticulture adviser already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • pest control in plants
  • plant disease control

What stands in the way is 10 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A vineyard machinery operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a viticulture adviser background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage nutrients information skills
  • already held develop grape growing techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held organic farming agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held plant disease control agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held pest control in plants agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held agronomy agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 6 carried skills, including the 2 the vineyard machinery operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
