1 Share of the leather sorter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leather measuring operator 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 · What you already bring
Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leather sorter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leather measuring operator background worth leading with.
- already held physico-chemical properties of crust leather natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
- already held leather technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held physico-chemical properties of hides and skins engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held monitor operations in the leather industry information skills
- already held identify defects on raw hides information skills
- already held identify with the company's goals assisting and caring
All 14 carried skills, including the 8 the leather sorter role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 5 missing skills fall into 3 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.
- required, not held differentiate nuance of colours required
- optional, not held liaise with colleagues optional
- optional, not held leather chemistry optional
- optional, not held leather finishing technologies optional
- optional, not held manage quality of leather throughout the production process optional

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.
