1 Share of the aquaculture recirculation manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture recirculation 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 recirculation manager role treats 19 of its required skills as things a aquaculture recirculation technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • carry out fish disease prevention measures
  • conduct fish mortality studies
  • ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
  • fish biology
  • fish welfare regulations
  • implement fin fish feeding regimes

What stands in the way is 15 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture recirculation manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture recirculation technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain recirculation systems constructing
  • already held recirculation systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held participate in the organisation of emergency drills management skills
  • already held aquaponics agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held monitor growth rates of cultivated fish species handling and moving
  • already held implement fin fish feeding regimes handling and moving

All 27 carried skills, including the 19 the aquaculture recirculation manager role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 21 missing skills fall into 11 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.

8 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.
