Yes, and it is a substantial move. A youth programme director already covers 36% of what an employment programme coordinator is expected to do: 8 skills carry over, 5 of which the employment programme coordinator role treats as required.

6 required skills are missing, plus 13 optional ones. They fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by information skills. The single most important is analyse unemployment rates.

Its learning distance is 58.4 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
