35.1/ 100

1 Share of the crop production worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the horticulture production team leader 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 crop production worker role treats 11 of its required skills as things a horticulture production team leader already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • drive agricultural machines
  • execute disease and pest control activities
  • execute fertilisation
  • grow plants
  • harvest crop
  • maintain storage facilities

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 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A crop production worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a horticulture production team leader background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held aeroponics agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held hydroponics agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held perform on-farm product processing working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held monitor fields handling and moving
  • already held store crops handling and moving
  • already held provide agri-touristic services communication, collaboration and creativity

All 35 carried skills, including the 11 the crop production worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
