1 Share of the electrical equipment assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrical cable 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 33 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 electrical cable assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held connect armature windings handling and moving
already held manufacture of electrical wire products engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held attach power cords to electric module handling and moving
already held switching devices engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held apply coating to electrical equipment constructing
already held electrical wire accessories engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 33 carried skills, including the 16 the electrical equipment assembler role treats as required.

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.
