National Occupational
Classification 2006 |
| The National Occupational Classification 2006
(NOC) provides a standardized language for describing the work performed by
Canadians in the labour market. It is used for many applications including
defining and collecting statistics, managing information databases, analyzing
labour market trends and extracting practical career planning information. More
importantly, it gives statisticians, labour market analysts, career
counsellors, employers and individual job seekers a consistent way to collect
data and describe and understand the nature of work. |
 |
The NOC is developed in collaboration with
Statistics Canada according to 5 year Census cycles. It is based on extensive
occupational research and consultation conducted across the country, reflecting
the evolution of the Canadian labour market. By providing a standard way of
organizing labour market information, the NOC helps all Canadians to be
better informed about the world of work.
The NOC 2006 provides
accurate and up-to-date descriptions of over 500 occupational groups that cover
approximately 30,000 job titles. It classifies occupations with a four-digit
code according to skill type and skill level. The digits of the NOC code
reflect important information about the occupation it represents (e.g., 3113
Dentists –“31” indicates that this is a health occupation and it
requires university level education). |
While the structure of the NOC 2006 is the same
as the NOC 2001, users can expect to find:
- Review and updates performed to over 150 of the 520
Unit Group descriptions that include Lead Statement, Main Duties, Employment
Requirements, Additional Information and Classified Elsewhere sections
- Modifications and/or new titles, including
gender-specific titles added to the existing NOC Index of Titles
- Minor editorial changes made to a small number of
Unit Group titles
|
The NOC 2006 includes a CD-ROM that contains:
- the PDF version of the contents of the binder
- a revised Index of Titles
- and a poster-sized NOC Matrix that provides an
overview of the entire classification
Unlike the 2001 edition, the CD-ROM of the NOC
2006 is not available to purchase separately.
