1 Share of the aquaculture rearing technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture hatchery 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 rearing technician role treats 11 of its required skills as things a aquaculture hatchery worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

biosecurity
carry out hatchery production processes
condition broodstock
cultivate plankton
culture aquaculture hatchery stocks
feed broodstock

What stands in the way is 23 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 rearing technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture hatchery worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held carry out hatchery production processes handling and moving
already held condition broodstock handling and moving
already held cultivate plankton handling and moving
already held maintain aquaculture water quality in hatcheries handling and moving
already held maintain hatchery equipment constructing
already held maintain hatchery facilities constructing

All 16 carried skills, including the 11 the aquaculture rearing technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 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.
