55%
44.9/ 100
1 Share of the cultural visitor services manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the arts education officer 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 this move works
A cultural visitor services manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a arts education officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- create cultural venue learning strategies
- develop educational resources
- establish educational network
- evaluate cultural venue programmes
- evaluate cultural venue visitor needs
- plan art educational activities
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring

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.
