40.1/ 100

1 Share of the employment programme coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the competition policy officer 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 employment programme coordinator role treats 7 of its required skills as things a competition policy officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • carry out strategic research
  • government policy implementation
  • liaise with local authorities
  • maintain relations with local representatives
  • perform project management
  • project management principles

What stands in the way is 4 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 employment programme coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a competition policy officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held advise on government policy compliance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held carry out strategic research information skills
  • already held ensure information transparency information skills
  • already held analyse goal progress information skills
  • already held business processes business, administration and law
  • already held maintain relations with local representatives communication, collaboration and creativity

All 15 carried skills, including the 7 the employment programme coordinator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 missing skills fall into 5 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
