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

animal welfare legislation
aquaculture reproduction
ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
fish biology
hatchery design
induce spawning and fertilisation on aquaculture species

What stands in the way is 17 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture hatchery technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture hatchery manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held hatchery design agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held induce spawning and fertilisation on aquaculture species handling and moving
already held maintain hatchery records information skills
already held maintain the production of juveniles at the nursery stage handling and moving
already held manage capture broodstock operations handling and moving
already held sanitation measures for aquaculture hatchery production services

All 16 carried skills, including the 13 the aquaculture hatchery technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 31 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.

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.
