1 Share of the starch extraction operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the oil mill 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.

Why

Why this move works

A starch extraction operator role treats 11 of its required skills as things a oil mill operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • be at ease in unsafe environments
  • disassemble equipment

What stands in the way is 14 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A starch extraction operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a oil mill operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held pump products working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held keep machines oiled for steady functioning constructing
  • already held disassemble equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set up equipment for food production working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform cleaning duties handling and moving
  • already held be at ease in unsafe environments management skills

All 19 carried skills, including the 11 the starch extraction operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 16 missing skills fall into 7 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.

2 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.
