1 Share of the braiding textile technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the textile quality technician 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A braiding textile technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a textile quality technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held braiding technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held check quality of products in textile production line information skills
  • already held test physical properties of textiles information skills
  • already held measure yarn count information skills
  • already held evaluate textile characteristics information skills
  • already held control textile process management skills

All 10 carried skills, including the 6 the braiding textile technician 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.
