1 Share of the plate glass installer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the glass beveller 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 plate glass installer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a glass beveller already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust glass sheets
  • cut glass
  • handle broken glass sheets
  • inspect glass sheet
  • manipulate glass
  • rinse glass

What stands in the way is 13 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A plate glass installer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a glass beveller background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held assemble windows constructing
  • already held rinse glass handling and moving
  • already held assemble insulating glazing units handling and moving
  • already held install sill pan constructing
  • already held adjust glass sheets working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held handle broken glass sheets handling and moving

All 19 carried skills, including the 8 the plate glass installer role treats as required.

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.
