1 Share of the mixed farmer 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 mixed farmer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a horticulture production team leader already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • agricultural business management
  • agronomical production principles
  • assign duties to agriculture workers
  • crop production principles
  • drive agricultural machines
  • environmental legislation in agriculture and forestry

What stands in the way is 9 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mixed farmer 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 agricultural business management business, administration and law
  • already held apply sustainable tillage techniques handling and moving
  • already held assign duties to agriculture workers management skills
  • already held agroecology agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held e-agriculture agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held agronomical production principles agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 14 carried skills, including the 9 the mixed farmer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 19 missing skills fall into 6 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.
