1 Share of the staircase installer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ceiling installer 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 18 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 ceiling installer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held snap chalk line handling and moving
  • already held protect surfaces during construction work constructing
  • already held join wood elements constructing
  • already held advise on construction materials communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held transport construction supplies handling and moving
  • already held order construction supplies communication, collaboration and creativity

All 18 carried skills, including the 8 the staircase installer role treats as required.

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.
