1 Share of the coquille casting worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the foundry operative 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 coquille casting worker role treats 3 of its required skills as things a foundry operative already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assemble metal parts
  • handle metal work orders
  • troubleshoot

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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A coquille casting worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a foundry operative background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate smelter working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held handle metal work orders management skills
  • already held operate metal heating equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held remove finished casts handling and moving
  • already held communicate using non-verbal language communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage time in casting processes management skills

All 16 carried skills, including the 3 the coquille casting worker role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 8 missing skills fall into 4 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.

01 working with machinery and specialised equipment 3 required
  • required, not held move filled coquilles required
  • required, not held repair coquille defects required
  • required, not held select coquille types required
02 handling and moving 2 required, 1 supplementary

The 3 entries a coquille casting worker role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
