1 Share of the aquaculture husbandry manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture site supervisor 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 husbandry manager role treats 12 of its required skills as things a aquaculture site supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • aquaculture cultivation equipment
  • control aquatic production environment
  • effect of water currents
  • ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
  • escapee contingency plans
  • fishing industry

What stands in the way is 27 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture husbandry manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture site supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain aquaculture equipment constructing
  • already held manage water flows and catchments constructing
  • already held aquaculture cultivation equipment agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held effect of water currents agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held escapee contingency plans agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held implement contingency plans for escapees communication, collaboration and creativity

All 14 carried skills, including the 12 the aquaculture husbandry manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 46 missing skills fall into 13 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.

12 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.
