1 Share of the system configurator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT system administrator 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 system configurator role treats 6 of its required skills as things a ICT system administrator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT infrastructure
  • ICT system user requirements
  • digital systems
  • integrate system components
  • interpret technical texts
  • migrate existing data

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 system configurator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT system administrator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held interfacing techniques engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held ICT accessibility standards information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held ICT system integration information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held software components libraries information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held ICT infrastructure engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held hardware components information and communication technologies (icts)

All 14 carried skills, including the 6 the system configurator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 78 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.

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.
