1 Share of the footwear maintenance technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the footwear hand sewer 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 footwear maintenance technician role treats 8 of its required skills as things a footwear hand sewer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • footwear components
  • footwear equipments
  • footwear machinery
  • footwear manufacturing technology
  • footwear materials
  • footwear quality

What stands in the way is 7 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 footwear maintenance technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a footwear hand sewer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held footwear stitching techniques engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply stitching techniques working with machinery and specialised equipment

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.
