metal drawing machine operatortoextrusion machine operator
A metal drawing machine operator already meets 69% of what the extrusion machine operator role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 37 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the extrusion machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the metal drawing machine 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 29 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A extrusion machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a metal drawing machine operator background worth leading with.
- already held dies engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held monitor moving workpiece in a machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held manufacturing of metal assembly products engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held metal forming technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held manufacturing of door furniture from metal engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held mark processed workpiece handling and moving
All 29 carried skills, including the 12 the extrusion machine operator role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
