National Occupational Classification
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is used daily by thousands of people to understand the jobs found throughout Canada's labour market. Using an internationally recognized coding logic, the NOC offers analyses of over 30,000 occupations, based on studies of the actual work performed by Canadians.
As the national reference on occupational information, the NOC can assist you on almost any project linked with the Canadian world of work.
For individuals looking for career information, the NOC provides detailed information on occupations including main job duties, titles and specific requirements. The NOC also gives a clear picture of the Canadian world of occupations, facilitating career exploration, and job comparison, allowing individuals to make informed career decisions.
