1 Share of the ICT system developer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cloud engineer 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT system developer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cloud engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plan migration to cloud working with computers
  • already held systems theory information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held apply ICT systems theory working with computers
  • already held develop with cloud services working with computers
  • already held ICT system integration information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held automate cloud tasks communication, collaboration and creativity

All 20 carried skills, including the 8 the ICT system developer role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 77 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
