1 Share of the crop production manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the vineyard supervisor 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 crop production manager role treats 10 of its required skills as things a vineyard supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

environmental legislation in agriculture and forestry
execute disease and pest control activities
fertilisation principles
leadership principles
manage agricultural staff
operate agricultural machinery

What stands in the way is 20 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A crop production manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vineyard supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held prepare equipment for harvest working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held e-agriculture agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held manage agricultural staff management skills
already held plant harvest methods agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held operate agricultural machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held fertilisation principles agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 13 carried skills, including the 10 the crop production manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 47 missing skills fall into 10 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.

18 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.
