Where a belt builder can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a belt builder already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Belt builders make transmission and conveyor belts by building up plies of rubberised fabric. They cut the ply to requird length with scissors and bond plies together with rollers and stitchers. Belt builders insert the finished belt between the pressure rollers. They measure the finished belt to check if it conforms to specifications.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a belt builder already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
