1 Share of the aquaculture husbandry worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture harvesting 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.

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 husbandry worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture harvesting worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held transport fish handling and moving
  • already held follow hygienic practices in fishery operations assisting and caring
  • already held follow safety precautions in fishery operations assisting and caring
  • already held operation of transport equipment services
  • already held identity aquaculture species handling and moving
  • already held measure water flow information skills

All 23 carried skills, including the 14 the aquaculture husbandry worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 32 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
