42.7/ 100

1 Share of the electronics drafter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrical drafter 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 electronics drafter role treats 13 of its required skills as things a electrical drafter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAD software
  • create technical plans
  • customise drafts
  • design drawings
  • design prototypes
  • draw blueprints

What stands in the way is 9 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 electronics drafter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electrical drafter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held customise drafts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held review drafts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manual draughting techniques arts and humanities
  • already held use manual draughting techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held prepare assembly drawings communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held draft bill of materials information skills

All 27 carried skills, including the 13 the electronics drafter role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 14 missing skills fall into 4 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.

8 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.
