43%
53.8/ 100
1 Share of the labour market policy officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the recreation policy officer 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 labour market policy officer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a recreation policy officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- advise on legislative acts
- create solutions to problems
- maintain relationships with government agencies
- manage government policy implementation
What stands in the way is 7 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A labour market policy officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a recreation policy officer background worth leading with.
- already held policy analysis social sciences, journalism and information
- already held European Structural and Investment Funds regulations business, administration and law
- already held liaise with politicians communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held analyse community needs communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held advise on legislative acts communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held manage government policy implementation management skills
All 12 carried skills, including the 4 the labour market policy officer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 5 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 analyse unemployment rates required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a labour market policy officer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 analyse the training market skill · sector specific
- 02 analyse unemployment rates skill · sector specific
- 03 develop employment policies 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.
