1 Share of the electrical drafter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electromechanical 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 electrical drafter role treats 18 of its required skills as things a electromechanical drafter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAD software
  • create technical plans
  • customise drafts
  • design drawings
  • design electrical systems
  • design prototypes

What stands in the way is 6 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 34 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electrical drafter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electromechanical 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 design electrical systems communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held design electromechanical systems communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held interpret electrical diagrams information skills
  • already held electrical wiring diagrams engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 34 carried skills, including the 18 the electrical drafter role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 6 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.

2 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.
