34.1/ 100

1 Share of the industrial machinery mechanic role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the heating and ventilation service installer 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 industrial machinery mechanic role treats 11 of its required skills as things a heating and ventilation service installer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • conduct routine machinery checks
  • electrical wiring plans
  • electricity
  • hydraulics
  • mechanics
  • perform maintenance on installed equipment

What stands in the way is 5 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 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A industrial machinery mechanic role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a heating and ventilation service installer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held lay pipe installation constructing
  • already held prepare compliance documents information skills
  • already held solve technical problems working with computers
  • already held provide customer information related to repairs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform ICT troubleshooting working with computers
  • already held perform maintenance on installed equipment constructing

All 25 carried skills, including the 11 the industrial machinery mechanic role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 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.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
