1 Share of the weaving textile technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the nonwoven textile technician 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 weaving textile technician role treats 5 of its required skills as things a nonwoven textile technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • develop specifications of technical textiles
  • distinguish accessories
  • distinguish fabrics
  • maintain work standards
  • measure yarn count

What stands in the way is 3 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A weaving textile technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a nonwoven textile technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop specifications of technical textiles information skills
  • already held test physical properties of textiles information skills
  • already held measure yarn count information skills
  • already held maintain work standards information skills
  • already held textile technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held distinguish accessories information skills

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the weaving textile technician role treats as required.

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.
