1 Share of the electronic equipment assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electronics production supervisor 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 electronic equipment assembler role treats 11 of its required skills as things a electronics production supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

assemble electronic units
electrical equipment regulations
electronic equipment standards
electronics
integrated circuits
interpret circuit diagrams

What stands in the way is 11 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electronic equipment assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electronics production supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held types of electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held repair electronic components working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held consumer electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held integrated circuits engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held battery management systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held power electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 23 carried skills, including the 11 the electronic equipment assembler role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 54 missing skills fall into 11 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.

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.
