1 Share of the coffee grinder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cocoa mill 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A coffee grinder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cocoa mill operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tend grinding mill machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held work in conveyor belts in food manufacturing working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held check processing parameters information skills
  • already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation in food production assisting and caring
  • already held lift heavy weights handling and moving
  • already held follow hygienic procedures during food processing assisting and caring

All 14 carried skills, including the 9 the coffee grinder 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.
