1 Share of the electrical equipment assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the control panel assembler 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 38 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electrical equipment assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a control panel assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held wire harnesses engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held switching devices engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply coating to electrical equipment constructing
  • already held install electric switches working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held adjust voltage working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held electrical wire accessories engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 38 carried skills, including the 16 the electrical equipment assembler role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 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.

8 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
