1 Share of the milk heat treatment process operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dairy products manufacturing worker 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 milk heat treatment process operator role treats 15 of its required skills as things a dairy products manufacturing worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • act reliably
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • carry out checks of production plant equipment
  • clean food and beverage machinery

What stands in the way is 3 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A milk heat treatment process operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dairy products manufacturing worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ultra-high temperature processing engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held operate equipment for food homogenisation working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held dairy manufacturing specifications engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held microbiology of fresh milk engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held operate centrifuges working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate pasteurisation processes working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 27 carried skills, including the 15 the milk heat treatment process operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 missing skills fall into 7 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.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
