43.3/ 100

1 Share of the brazier role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ornamental metal worker 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 brazier role treats 14 of its required skills as things a ornamental metal worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply brazing techniques
  • apply precision metalworking techniques
  • ensure correct metal temperature
  • ensure equipment availability
  • operate brazing equipment
  • operate welding equipment

What stands in the way is 4 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A brazier role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ornamental metal worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held torch temperature for metal processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held operate brazing equipment constructing
  • already held apply brazing techniques constructing
  • already held select filler metal constructing
  • already held apply arc welding techniques constructing
  • already held ensure correct metal temperature working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 23 carried skills, including the 14 the brazier role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 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.

9 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.
