1 Share of the licensing officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the grants administrator 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A licensing officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a grants administrator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held grant concessions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use microsoft office working with computers
  • already held check official documents assisting and caring
  • already held ensure proper document management information skills
  • already held conduct research interview communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held respond to enquiries assisting and caring

All 9 carried skills, including the 1 the licensing officer role treats as required.

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.
