57%
49/ 100
1 Share of the fruit and vegetable canner role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the baker 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 fruit and vegetable canner role treats 11 of its required skills as things a baker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- administer ingredients in food production
- apply GMP
- apply HACCP
- apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
- check quality of products on the production line
- clean food and beverage machinery
What stands in the way is 8 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
Of the 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fruit and vegetable canner role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a baker background worth leading with.
- already held maintain cutting equipment constructing
- already held care for food aesthetic assisting and caring
- already held analyse characteristics of food products at reception information skills
- already held operate a heat treatment process assisting and caring
- already held administer ingredients in food production working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held execute chilling processes to food products working with machinery and specialised equipment
All 21 carried skills, including the 11 the fruit and vegetable canner role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
