1 Share of the butcher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the kosher slaughterer 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 butcher role treats 19 of its required skills as things a kosher slaughterer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • animal anatomy for food production
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • consider economic criteria in decision making
  • cope with blood

What stands in the way is 17 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A butcher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a kosher slaughterer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held handle knives for cutting activities handling and moving
  • already held warm blooded animal organs natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held split animal carcasses handling and moving
  • already held cope with blood assisting and caring
  • already held follow an environmental friendly policy while processing food assisting and caring
  • already held process livestock organs working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 23 carried skills, including the 19 the butcher role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 44 missing skills fall into 9 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.
