1 Share of the horticulture production manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the agronomic crop production team leader 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.

Why

Why this move works

A horticulture production manager role treats 30 of its required skills as things a agronomic crop production team leader already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • crop production principles
  • ensure soil fertility
  • environmental legislation in agriculture and forestry
  • execute disease and pest control activities
  • fertilisation principles
  • grow plants

What stands in the way is 12 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 45 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A horticulture production manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a agronomic crop production team leader background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held promote farm products communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held ensure soil fertility handling and moving
  • already held manage agritourism activities management skills
  • already held maintain plant soil nutrition handling and moving
  • already held perform on-farm product processing working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held maintain plant health handling and moving

All 45 carried skills, including the 30 the horticulture production manager 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.
