1 Share of the aquaculture rearing technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture recirculation 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 rearing technician role treats 8 of its required skills as things a aquaculture recirculation manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • carry out fish disease prevention measures
  • ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
  • fish biology
  • fish identification and classification
  • monitor fish health status
  • monitor water quality

What stands in the way is 26 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 13 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 recirculation manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held encourage teambuilding management skills
  • already held carry out fish disease prevention measures handling and moving
  • already held treat fish diseases handling and moving
  • already held monitor fish health status information skills
  • already held provide on-site training in aquaculture facilities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety assisting and caring

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the aquaculture rearing technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 37 missing skills fall into 10 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.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
