1 Share of the animal embryo transfer technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the animal physiotherapist 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 animal embryo transfer technician role treats 12 of its required skills as things a animal physiotherapist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • anatomy of animals
  • animal behaviour
  • animal welfare
  • animal welfare legislation
  • apply animal hygiene practices
  • apply safe work practices in a veterinary setting

What stands in the way is 9 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A animal embryo transfer technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a animal physiotherapist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply safe work practices in a veterinary setting assisting and caring
  • already held deal with challenging people assisting and caring
  • already held biosecurity related to animals agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held anatomy of animals natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held physiology of animals agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held animal behaviour agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 13 carried skills, including the 12 the animal embryo transfer technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 21 missing skills fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
