53%
39.4/ 100
1 Share of the arts education officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cultural centre director 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 this move works
A arts education officer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a cultural centre director already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- create cultural venue learning strategies
- evaluate cultural venue programmes
- evaluate cultural venue visitor needs
- promote cultural venue events
- promote cultural venue in schools
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 · What you already bring
Of the 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A arts education officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cultural centre director background worth leading with.
- already held promote cultural venue in schools communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held create cultural venue learning strategies management skills
- already held evaluate cultural venue programmes information skills
- already held evaluate cultural venue visitor needs management skills
- already held promote cultural venue events communication, collaboration and creativity
All 5 carried skills, including the 5 the arts education officer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

- required, not held develop artistic educational activities required
- required, not held plan art educational activities required
- optional, not held manage volunteers optional
- required, not held establish educational network required
- required, not held develop educational resources required
Table 4 · Where to start

- 02 establish educational network skill · sector specific
- 03 plan art educational activities skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
