1 Share of the tutor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the educational counsellor 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 tutor role treats 6 of its required skills as things a educational counsellor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assessment processes
  • assist students in their learning
  • consult student's support system
  • guarantee students' safety
  • learning difficulties
  • maintain relations with children's parents

What stands in the way is 12 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tutor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a educational counsellor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held show consideration for student's situation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adult education education
  • already held consult student's support system communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain relations with children's parents communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held communicate with youth communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held oversee extra-curricular activities management skills

All 13 carried skills, including the 6 the tutor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 23 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.

1 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.
