71%
31.1/ 100
1 Share of the lasting machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pre-lasting operator 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 this move works
A lasting machine operator role treats 11 of its required skills as things a pre-lasting operator 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
- assembling processes and techniques for california footwear construction
- assembling processes and techniques for cemented footwear construction
- assembling processes and techniques for goodyear footwear construction
- footwear components
What stands in the way is 4 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
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 pre-lasting operator background worth leading with.
- already held footwear uppers pre-assembly engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held footwear bottoms pre-assembly engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held assembling processes and techniques for california footwear construction engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held assembling processes and techniques for cemented footwear construction engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held assembling processes and techniques for goodyear footwear construction engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held apply footwear uppers pre-assembling techniques handling and moving
All 15 carried skills, including the 11 the lasting machine operator role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 7 missing skills fall into 3 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.
- required, not held apply machine cutting techniques for footwear and leather goods required
- required, not held apply pre-stitching techniques required
- required, not held apply stitching techniques required
- optional, not held operate automatic cutting systems for footwear and leather goods optional
- required, not held apply footwear finishing techniques required
- optional, not held cut footwear uppers optional
- optional, not held apply methods for footwear and leather goods manufacturing optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a lasting machine operator role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 apply footwear finishing techniques skill · sector specific
- 02 apply machine cutting techniques for footwear and leather goods skill · sector specific
- 03 apply pre-stitching techniques skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
