1 Share of the riveter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hydraulic forging press worker 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 riveter role treats 8 of its required skills as things a hydraulic forging press worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply preliminary treatment to workpieces
  • ensure equipment availability
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • remove inadequate workpieces
  • remove processed workpiece

What stands in the way is 2 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 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A riveter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hydraulic forging press worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manufacturing of metal structures engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of metal containers engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply preliminary treatment to workpieces handling and moving
  • already held manufacturing of steam generators engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held supply machine with appropriate tools handling and moving
  • already held remove inadequate workpieces handling and moving

All 24 carried skills, including the 8 the riveter role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 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.

6 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.
