1 Share of the stamping press operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the coating machine 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 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stamping press operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a coating machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held stamping press parts arts and humanities
already held types of stamping press engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held tend stamping press working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held manufacturing of steel drums and similar containers engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held manufacturing of doors from metal engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held manufacturing of metal structures engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 26 carried skills, including the 13 the stamping press 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.
