1 Share of the corporate trainer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the further education teacher 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 corporate trainer role treats 13 of its required skills as things a further education teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

adapt teaching to target group
adapt training to labour market
adult education
apply intercultural teaching strategies
apply teaching strategies
assessment processes

What stands in the way is 3 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A corporate trainer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a further education teacher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held training subject expertise education
already held promote education course communication, collaboration and creativity
already held deliver online training communication, collaboration and creativity
already held teach digital literacy communication, collaboration and creativity
already held adapt teaching to target group communication, collaboration and creativity
already held adult education education

All 20 carried skills, including the 13 the corporate trainer role treats as required.

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

10 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
