1 Share of the fish canning operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fruit and vegetable canner 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 fish canning operator role treats 13 of its required skills as things a fruit and vegetable canner already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • administer ingredients in food production
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • check quality of products on the production line
  • clean food and beverage machinery

What stands in the way is 11 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fish canning operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fruit and vegetable canner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tend canning machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held dispose non-food waste within the food industry handling and moving
  • already held food canning production line engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held food preservation engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held maintain cutting equipment constructing
  • already held care for food aesthetic assisting and caring

All 23 carried skills, including the 13 the fish canning operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 missing skills fall into 6 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.
