1 Share of the equine yard manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the equine worker 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 equine yard manager role treats 8 of its required skills as things a equine worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • animal welfare legislation
  • biology
  • biosecurity
  • breed stock
  • keep task records
  • livestock species

What stands in the way is 8 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A equine yard manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a equine worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held transportation vehicles for horses services
  • already held maintain the farm constructing
  • already held analyse animal locomotion information skills
  • already held assess equid footcare requirements handling and moving
  • already held attach horseshoes handling and moving
  • already held make farrier tools and supplies handling and moving

All 27 carried skills, including the 8 the equine yard manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
