1 Share of the horticulture worker 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 worker role treats 10 of its required skills as things a agronomic crop production team leader already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

execute fertilisation
grow plants
harvest crop
maintain storage facilities
monitor fields
prepare planting area

What stands in the way is 6 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 30 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A horticulture worker 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 apply alternate wetting and drying techniques handling and moving
already held promote farm products communication, collaboration and creativity
already held perform on-farm product processing working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held monitor fields handling and moving
already held store crops handling and moving
already held provide agri-touristic services communication, collaboration and creativity

All 30 carried skills, including the 10 the horticulture worker 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.
