1 Share of the meat cutter 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A meat cutter 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 documentation concerning meat production engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held handle knives for cutting activities handling and moving
  • already held clean the trimming box handling and moving
  • already held handle meat processing equipment in cooling rooms handling and moving
  • already held split animal carcasses handling and moving
  • already held slaughter animals handling and moving

All 25 carried skills, including the 18 the meat cutter role treats as required.

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.
