44.1/ 100

1 Share of the employment programme coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the labour market policy officer 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 employment programme coordinator role treats 7 of its required skills as things a labour market policy officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse unemployment rates
  • carry out strategic research
  • develop employment policies
  • employment law
  • perform project management
  • promote employment policy

What stands in the way is 4 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A employment programme coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a labour market policy officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analyse unemployment rates information skills
  • already held develop employment policies management skills
  • already held promote employment policy communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held carry out strategic research information skills
  • already held analyse goal progress information skills
  • already held advise on legislative acts communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the employment programme coordinator 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.
