1 Share of the wire weaving 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A wire weaving 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.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tend wire drawing machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held safely handle metal wire under tension handling and moving
  • already held metal drawing processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held dies engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held monitor moving workpiece in a machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manufacture of small metal parts engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 28 carried skills, including the 12 the wire weaving machine operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 9 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
