1 Share of the riveter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the thread rolling 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.

Why

Why this move works

A riveter role treats 6 of its required skills as things a thread rolling machine operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure equipment availability
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • remove inadequate workpieces
  • remove processed workpiece
  • types of metal

What stands in the way is 4 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 26 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 thread rolling machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held interpret geometric dimensions and tolerances information skills
  • already held manufacturing of metal assembly products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held statistical process control natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held manufacturing of metal structures engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held program a CNC controller working with computers
  • already held quality and cycle time optimisation engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 26 carried skills, including the 6 the riveter role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 11 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.

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.
