Where a tunnel kiln operator can go next

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

Tunnel kiln operators control preheating chambers and tunnel kilns to preheat and bake clay products, such as bricks, sewer popes, mosaic, ceramic or quarry tiles. They observe gauges and instruments and adjust by turning valves if necessary. They pull loaded kiln cars in and out of the heaters and move them to a sorting area.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a tunnel kiln operator 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.
