1 Share of the babysitter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the school bus attendant 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

Why this move works

A babysitter role treats 2 of its required skills as things a school bus attendant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • communicate with youth
  • supervise children

What stands in the way is 8 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A babysitter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a school bus attendant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held supervise children assisting and caring
  • already held common children's diseases health and welfare
  • already held communicate with youth communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide first aid assisting and caring

All 4 carried skills, including the 2 the babysitter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 25 missing skills fall into 7 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
