Where a metallurgist can go next

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

Metallurgists specialise in the extraction and processing of metals such as iron, steel, zinc, copper and aluminium. They work to mold or combine both pure and mixed metals (alloys) into new shapes and properties. Metallurgists handle the extraction of metal ores and develop their use in metal processing techniques. They may work in both manufacturing or do scientific research about the performance of metals.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a metallurgist 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.
