1 Share of the promoter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the venue programmer 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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A promoter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a venue programmer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop an artistic network communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held plan presence at professional events management skills
  • already held promote event communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held musical genres arts and humanities

All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the promoter role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
