46.1/ 100

1 Share of the labour market policy officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the employment programme coordinator 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 labour market policy officer role treats 6 of its required skills as things a employment programme coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on legislative acts
  • analyse unemployment rates
  • create solutions to problems
  • develop employment policies
  • manage government policy implementation
  • promote employment policy

What stands in the way is 5 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A labour market policy officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a employment programme coordinator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analyse unemployment rates information skills
  • already held develop employment policies management skills
  • already held promote employment policy communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held carry out strategic research information skills
  • already held analyse goal progress information skills
  • already held advise on legislative acts communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 6 the labour market policy officer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 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.

6 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.
