1 Share of the laminating machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wood fuel pelletiser 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 laminating machine operator role treats 8 of its required skills as things a wood fuel pelletiser already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • monitor automated machines
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • set up the controller of a machine
  • supply machine
  • troubleshoot

What stands in the way is 5 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A laminating machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wood fuel pelletiser background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare wood production reports information skills
  • already held work safely with machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform machine maintenance working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held record production data for quality control information skills
  • already held supply machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held consult technical resources information skills

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the laminating machine operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
