spot weldertoriveter
A spot welder already meets 73% of what the riveter role asks for. The move turns on 1 required skill not yet in the profile.
This move: 27 of 100 · adjacent
1 Share of the riveter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the spot welder 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 · What you already bring
Of the 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A riveter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a spot welder background worth leading with.
- already held prepare pieces for joining handling and moving
- already held metal joining technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held manufacturing of metal containers engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held apply preliminary treatment to workpieces handling and moving
- already held manufacturing of steam generators engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held supply machine with appropriate tools handling and moving
All 24 carried skills, including the 9 the riveter role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
