1 Share of the rubber products machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the coagulation 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A rubber products machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a coagulation operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held operate rubber mixing machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held select material to process handling and moving
already held adjust the rubber machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held insert bladders in sport balls handling and moving
already held monitor storage space information skills
already held stir rubber cement mixture working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 12 carried skills, including the 5 the rubber products machine operator 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.
