1 Share of the aquaculture cage mooring worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the water-based aquaculture 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 29 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture cage mooring worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a water-based aquaculture worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held transfer fish working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held prepare fish holding units handling and moving
already held stock fish handling and moving
already held carry out fish transportation handling and moving
already held collect growth rate information information skills
already held collect live fish handling and moving

All 29 carried skills, including the 16 the aquaculture cage mooring worker 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.
