1 Share of the mayor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the youth programme director 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 mayor role treats 5 of its required skills as things a youth programme director already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • build community relations
  • government policy implementation
  • liaise with local authorities
  • maintain relations with local representatives
  • maintain relationships with government agencies

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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mayor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a youth programme director background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analyse community needs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held build community relations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain relations with local representatives communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held project management principles business, administration and law
  • already held maintain relationships with government agencies communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held government policy implementation social sciences, journalism and information

All 10 carried skills, including the 5 the mayor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 21 missing skills fall into 5 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.

9 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.
