1 Share of the aquaculture husbandry technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture harvesting 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 husbandry technician role treats 15 of its required skills as things a aquaculture harvesting technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply fish treatments
  • calculate aquatic resources growth rate
  • carry out preparations for fish disease specialist
  • collect broodstock
  • control aquatic production environment
  • ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held calculate aquatic resources growth rate information skills
  • already held apply fish treatments handling and moving
  • already held identity aquaculture species handling and moving
  • already held ensure compliance with aquaculture standards communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held monitor aquaculture feeding behaviour handling and moving
  • already held collect dead fish handling and moving

All 22 carried skills, including the 15 the aquaculture husbandry technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 33 missing skills fall into 8 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.

6 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.
