1 Share of the embroiderer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the textile pattern making machine operator 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A embroiderer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a textile pattern making machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held embroider fabrics handling and moving
already held draw sketches to develop textile articles using softwares working with computers
already held operate garment manufacturing machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held decorate textile articles working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held sew pieces of fabric working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held properties of textile materials engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the embroiderer 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.
