1 Share of the aquaculture harvesting technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture cage technician 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 harvesting technician role treats 18 of its required skills as things a aquaculture cage technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply fish treatments
  • carry out fish disease prevention measures
  • carry out preparations for fish disease specialist
  • collect broodstock
  • control aquatic production environment
  • fish biology

What stands in the way is 20 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture harvesting technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture cage technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain grading equipment constructing
  • already held handle harvested fish handling and moving
  • already held apply fish treatments handling and moving
  • already held harvest aquatic resources handling and moving
  • already held set up fish harvesting equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held monitor aquaculture feeding behaviour handling and moving

All 23 carried skills, including the 18 the aquaculture harvesting technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 missing skills fall into 11 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.

8 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.
