1 Share of the jewellery engraver role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the printmaker 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 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A jewellery engraver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a printmaker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held fill etchings handling and moving
  • already held maintain engraving equipment constructing
  • already held prepare etching chemicals handling and moving
  • already held scale etchings working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held ensure accurate engravings working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held inspect etched work information skills

All 18 carried skills, including the 12 the jewellery engraver role treats as required.

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.
