1 Share of the halal slaughterer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the halal butcher 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 halal slaughterer role treats 14 of its required skills as things a halal butcher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • animal anatomy for food production
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • ensure sanitation
  • halal meat

What stands in the way is 19 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 halal slaughterer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a halal butcher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held halal meat engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held halal slaughtering practices engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held warm blooded animal organs natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held split animal carcasses handling and moving
  • already held follow an environmental friendly policy while processing food assisting and caring
  • already held process livestock organs working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 20 carried skills, including the 14 the halal slaughterer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 25 missing skills fall into 7 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.
