42.1/ 100

1 Share of the production potter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pottery and porcelain caster 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 production potter role treats 10 of its required skills as things a pottery and porcelain caster already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply glaze coating
  • ceramics glazes
  • handle different pottery materials
  • inspect quality of products
  • materials in porcelain manufacturing
  • materials used in stoneware manufacturing

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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A production potter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pottery and porcelain caster background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply glaze coating constructing
  • already held materials used in stoneware manufacturing engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held materials in porcelain manufacturing engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held alumina ceramic arts and humanities
  • already held ceramics glazes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held handle different pottery materials handling and moving

All 20 carried skills, including the 10 the production potter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
