1 Share of the marine engineering drafter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aerospace engineering drafter 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 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine engineering drafter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aerospace engineering drafter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held stealth technology services
already held synthetic natural environment natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
already held use CADD software working with computers
already held manual draughting techniques arts and humanities
already held archive documentation related to work information skills
already held guidance, navigation and control engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 35 carried skills, including the 16 the marine engineering drafter 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.
