43.2/ 100

1 Share of the juvenile correctional officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the police officer 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 juvenile correctional officer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a police officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply knowledge of human behaviour
  • identify security threats
  • illegal substances
  • law enforcement
  • legal use-of-force
  • patrol areas

What stands in the way is 6 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A juvenile correctional officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a police officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held conduct frisk assisting and caring
  • already held illegal substances services
  • already held comply with the principles of self-defence assisting and caring
  • already held restrain individuals assisting and caring
  • already held legal use-of-force business, administration and law
  • already held patrol areas assisting and caring

All 14 carried skills, including the 7 the juvenile correctional officer role treats as required.

4 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
