environmental education officertocurator of horticulture
A environmental education officer already meets 29% of what the curator of horticulture role asks for. The move turns on 12 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 67.1 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the curator of horticulture role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the environmental education officer 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 · What you already bring
Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A curator of horticulture role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a environmental education officer background worth leading with.

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.
