1 Share of the veneer grader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pulp grader 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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A veneer grader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pulp grader background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held revise quality control systems documentation information skills
  • already held prepare samples for testing handling and moving
  • already held meet contract specifications communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held set quality assurance objectives management skills
  • already held perform sample testing information skills
  • already held recommend product improvements communication, collaboration and creativity

All 21 carried skills, including the 9 the veneer grader role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 6 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.

The 3 entries a veneer grader role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

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.
