1 Share of the aquaculture cage mooring worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the water-based aquaculture worker 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 aquaculture cage mooring worker role treats 16 of its required skills as things a water-based aquaculture worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assess cage water quality
  • carry out fish transportation
  • collect biological data
  • collect dead fish
  • collect fish samples for diagnosis
  • collect growth rate information

What stands in the way is 25 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 29 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture cage mooring worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a water-based aquaculture worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held transfer fish working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prepare fish holding units handling and moving
  • already held stock fish handling and moving
  • already held carry out fish transportation handling and moving
  • already held collect growth rate information information skills
  • already held collect live fish handling and moving

All 29 carried skills, including the 16 the aquaculture cage mooring worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 35 missing skills fall into 9 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.

6 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.
