1 Share of the corrugator operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the paperboard products assembler 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 corrugator operator role treats 12 of its required skills as things a paperboard products assembler already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • monitor automated machines
  • monitor conveyor belt
  • operate board slotting machine
  • operate corrugator
  • perform test run
  • quality standards

What stands in the way is 2 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A corrugator operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a paperboard products assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate corrugator working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held styles of boxes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held test edge crush information skills
  • already held types of boxes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held operate die-cut machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held mix ink handling and moving

All 27 carried skills, including the 12 the corrugator operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 11 missing skills fall into 4 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.

1 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.
