1 Share of the fruit-press operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the blender operator 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fruit-press operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a blender operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held process fruits and vegetables working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set up equipment for food production working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held clean food and beverage machinery handling and moving
  • already held ensure sanitation handling and moving
  • already held health, safety and hygiene legislation services
  • already held lift heavy weights handling and moving

All 11 carried skills, including the 8 the fruit-press operator 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.
