1 Share of the hide grader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leather goods artisanal worker 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hide grader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leather goods artisanal worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held leather finishing technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held leather physical testing engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held leather chemistry engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held physico-chemical properties of hides and skins engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manage quality of leather throughout the production process management skills
  • already held identify defects on raw hides information skills

All 11 carried skills, including the 4 the hide grader role treats as required.

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.
