1 Share of the lasting machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the orthopaedic footwear 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 lasting machine operator role treats 12 of its required skills as things a orthopaedic footwear technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply assembling techniques for cemented footwear construction
  • apply basic rules of maintenance to leather goods and footwear machinery
  • apply footwear finishing techniques
  • apply machine cutting techniques for footwear and leather goods
  • apply pre-stitching techniques
  • apply stitching techniques

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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A lasting machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a orthopaedic footwear technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply footwear uppers pre-assembling techniques handling and moving
  • already held cut footwear uppers handling and moving
  • already held apply footwear bottoms pre-assembling techniques handling and moving
  • already held apply assembling techniques for cemented footwear construction handling and moving
  • already held apply footwear finishing techniques handling and moving
  • already held apply stitching techniques working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 15 carried skills, including the 12 the lasting machine operator 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.
