1 Share of the mobility services manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the transport planner 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 mobility services manager role treats 11 of its required skills as things a transport planner already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse transport business networks
  • analyse transportation costs
  • carpooling services
  • develop urban transport studies
  • environmental policy
  • match vehicles with routes

What stands in the way is 14 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mobility services manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a transport planner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held carpooling services services
  • already held promote public transport communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held analyse transport business networks information skills
  • already held mobility as a service services
  • already held study traffic flow information skills
  • already held manage car park operations information skills

All 15 carried skills, including the 11 the mobility services manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 22 missing skills fall into 8 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.
