1 Share of the aerospace engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the material stress analyst 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 aerospace engineering technician role treats 13 of its required skills as things a material stress analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAE software
  • ICT software specifications
  • aircraft mechanics
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes
  • execute analytical mathematical calculations

What stands in the way is 5 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aerospace engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a material stress analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held write stress-strain analysis reports communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform physical stress tests on models information skills
  • already held analyse stress resistance of products information skills
  • already held aircraft mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held material mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held multimedia systems arts and humanities

All 17 carried skills, including the 13 the aerospace engineering technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 33 missing skills fall into 13 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.

8 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
