1 Share of the basketmaker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the woodcarver 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 basketmaker role treats 6 of its required skills as things a woodcarver already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply wood finishes
  • check quality of raw materials
  • maintain edged hand tools
  • types of wood
  • use wood carving knives
  • wood cuts

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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A basketmaker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a woodcarver background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held use wood carving knives handling and moving
  • already held maintain edged hand tools handling and moving
  • already held design objects to be crafted communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held apply wood finishes constructing
  • already held store products handling and moving
  • already held operate wood sawing equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 14 carried skills, including the 6 the basketmaker role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 14 missing skills fall into 5 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.

The 3 entries a basketmaker role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
