1 Share of the clothing process control technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the clothing sample machinist 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

Why this move works

A clothing process control technician role treats 11 of its required skills as things a clothing sample machinist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apparel manufacturing technology
  • create patterns for garments
  • distinguish accessories
  • distinguish fabrics
  • inspect wearing apparel products
  • make technical drawings of fashion pieces

What stands in the way is 3 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A clothing process control technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a clothing sample machinist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manufacture personal protective equipment made of textile working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate computerised control systems working with computers
  • already held inspect wearing apparel products information skills
  • already held manage briefs for clothing manufacturing information skills
  • already held CAD for garment manufacturing engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held create patterns for garments handling and moving

All 15 carried skills, including the 11 the clothing process control technician 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.
