1 Share of the staircase installer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the carpenter 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 · What you already bring

Of the 33 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A staircase installer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a carpenter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate table saw working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate wood router working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held create cutting plan handling and moving
  • already held snap chalk line handling and moving
  • already held apply wood finishes constructing
  • already held clean wood surface handling and moving

All 33 carried skills, including the 14 the staircase installer role treats as required.

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.
