1 Share of the food grader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the food and beverage packaging technologist 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 food grader role treats 8 of its required skills as things a food and beverage packaging technologist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • ensure correct goods labelling
  • food safety principles
  • food safety standards
  • food science
  • keep up-to-date with regulations

What stands in the way is 22 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A food grader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a food and beverage packaging technologist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held risks associated to physical, chemical, biological hazards in food and beverages engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held keep up with innovations in food manufacturing information skills
  • already held develop standard operating procedures in the food chain management skills
  • already held food safety standards services
  • already held food science engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held keep up-to-date with regulations information skills

All 10 carried skills, including the 8 the food grader role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 missing skills fall into 9 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.

10 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.
