1 Share of the ICT consultant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the green ICT consultant 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 ICT consultant role treats 6 of its required skills as things a green ICT consultant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT sales methodologies
  • create project specifications
  • define technical requirements
  • legal requirements of ICT products
  • optimise choice of ICT solution
  • provide ICT consulting advice

What stands in the way is 15 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a green ICT consultant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ICT sales methodologies business, administration and law
  • already held optimise choice of ICT solution working with computers
  • already held create project specifications management skills
  • already held provide ICT consulting advice communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held emergent technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held legal requirements of ICT products business, administration and law

All 8 carried skills, including the 6 the ICT consultant role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 30 missing skills fall into 9 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.
