1 Share of the manufactured wooden building assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wood products assembler 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 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A manufactured wooden building assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wood products assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform pre-assembly quality checks information skills
  • already held create wood joints handling and moving
  • already held wood products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held construction products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply wood finishes constructing
  • already held clean wood surface handling and moving

All 24 carried skills, including the 11 the manufactured wooden building assembler role treats as required.

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.
