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

  • conduct environmental surveys
  • develop environmental policy
  • ensure compliance with environmental legislation
  • environmental legislation
  • environmental policy
  • perform environmental investigations

What stands in the way is 25 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 environmental programme coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a environmental health inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform environmental investigations information skills
  • already held conduct environmental surveys information skills
  • already held conduct educational activities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop environmental policy management skills
  • already held monitor legislation developments information skills
  • already held environmental policy natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 12 carried skills, including the 6 the environmental programme coordinator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 44 missing skills fall into 12 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.
