hydrogenation machine operatortofat-purification worker

A hydrogenation machine operator already meets 50% of what the fat-purification worker role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.

1 Share of the fat-purification worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hydrogenation machine operator 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 fat-purification worker role treats 11 of its required skills as things a hydrogenation machine operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • assess oil hardness
  • assess quality characteristics of food products
  • check sensorial parameters of oils and fats

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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fat-purification worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hydrogenation machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held assess oil hardness information skills
  • already held hydrogenation processes for edible oils engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held control flow of matter used in oil processing working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held check sensorial parameters of oils and fats information skills
  • already held origin of dietary fats and oils engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held assess quality characteristics of food products information skills

All 17 carried skills, including the 11 the fat-purification worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 missing skills fall into 5 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.

1 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
