1 Share of the catcher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the poultry sexer 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A catcher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a poultry sexer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held raise hens handling and moving
already held handle poultry handling and moving
already held breed ducks handling and moving
already held livestock farming systems agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held livestock species natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
already held apply animal hygiene practices handling and moving

All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the catcher role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
