venue programmertopromoter
A venue programmer already meets 23% of what the promoter role asks for. The move turns on 12 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 70.6 of 100 · substantial
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 · 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.
- 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.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 16 missing skills fall into 4 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a promoter role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 adapt to artists' creative demands skill · sector specific
- 02 arrange event needs skill · sector specific
- 03 confer with event staff skill · sector specific
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.
