53%
45.4/ 100
1 Share of the regional development policy officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the economic development coordinator 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 regional development policy officer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a economic development coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- advise on economic development
- advise on legislative acts
- create solutions to problems
- government policy implementation
- liaise with local authorities
- maintain relations with local representatives
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 · What you already bring
Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A regional development policy officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a economic development coordinator background worth leading with.
- already held develop economic policies management skills
- already held advise on economic development communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held carry out strategic research information skills
- already held analyse economic trends information skills
- already held maintain relations with local representatives communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held advise on legislative acts communication, collaboration and creativity
All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the regional development policy officer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 18 missing skills fall into 6 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.

- required, not held government policy required
- optional, not held macro-regional strategy optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a regional development policy officer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 rural development strategies knowledge · sector specific
- 02 government policy knowledge · cross sector
- 03 perform scientific research skill · cross sector
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.
