39.1/ 100

1 Share of the aquaculture harvesting 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 harvesting 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.

  • apply fish harvest methods
  • carry out preparations for fish disease specialist
  • collect dead fish
  • fish welfare regulations
  • handle harvested fish
  • harvest aquatic resources

What stands in the way is 6 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 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture harvesting 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 maintain fish harvesting equipment constructing
  • already held transport fish handling and moving
  • already held apply fish harvest methods handling and moving
  • already held handle harvested fish handling and moving
  • already held operation of transport equipment services
  • already held harvest aquatic resources handling and moving

All 25 carried skills, including the 16 the aquaculture harvesting worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 15 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
