1 Share of the mineral crushing operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the production potter 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 mineral crushing operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a production potter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held report defective manufacturing materials information skills
already held maintain equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held use personal protection equipment assisting and caring
already held consult technical resources information skills
already held inspect quality of products information skills
already held quality standards business, administration and law

All 7 carried skills, including the 3 the mineral crushing operator 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.
