50.6/ 100

1 Share of the hop farmer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the horticulture production manager 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 hop farmer role treats 12 of its required skills as things a horticulture production manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • execute fertilisation
  • grow plants
  • harvest crop
  • maintain storage facilities
  • manage crop production
  • monitor fields

What stands in the way is 11 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hop farmer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a horticulture production manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held pick orders of agricultural products handling and moving
  • already held monitor fields handling and moving
  • already held store crops handling and moving
  • already held maintain storage facilities handling and moving
  • already held manage crop production handling and moving
  • already held plant propagation agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 27 carried skills, including the 12 the hop farmer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 14 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.

3 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.
