1 Share of the database designer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the artificial intelligence engineer 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 56 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A database designer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a artificial intelligence engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held create data sets information skills
already held apply ICT systems theory working with computers
already held assess ICT knowledge management skills
already held database development tools information and communication technologies (icts)
already held design database scheme communication, collaboration and creativity
already held data science information and communication technologies (icts)

All 56 carried skills, including the 11 the database designer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 47 missing skills fall into 6 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.

29 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
