1 Share of the aquaculture cage technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture cage mooring worker 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 aquaculture cage technician role treats 13 of its required skills as things a aquaculture cage mooring worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply fish treatments
  • assess cage water quality
  • check diving equipment
  • fish biology
  • fish grading
  • identify common aquatic species diseases

What stands in the way is 25 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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture cage technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture cage mooring worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held identify common aquatic species diseases information skills
  • already held maintain aquaculture cage equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held maintain cage nets handling and moving
  • already held apply fish treatments handling and moving
  • already held assess cage water quality information skills
  • already held harvest aquatic resources handling and moving

All 21 carried skills, including the 13 the aquaculture cage technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 35 missing skills fall into 10 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.

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.
