1 Share of the academic support officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the admissions coordinator 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A academic support officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a admissions coordinator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held counsel students communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held identify education needs management skills
  • already held education law business, administration and law
  • already held communication generic programmes and qualifications
  • already held electronic communication engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held communicate with youth communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 the academic support officer role treats as required.

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.
