48.1/ 100

1 Share of the horticulture worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fruit production team leader 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 horticulture worker role treats 10 of its required skills as things a fruit production team leader already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • execute fertilisation
  • grow plants
  • harvest crop
  • maintain storage facilities
  • monitor fields
  • nurse plants

What stands in the way is 6 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 38 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A horticulture worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fruit production team leader background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held coordinate greenhouse environment management skills
  • already held implement landscaping projects communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held greenhouse types agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held pick orders of agricultural products handling and moving
  • already held carry out work related calculations in agriculture information skills
  • already held perform on-farm product processing working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 38 carried skills, including the 10 the horticulture worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

8 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.
