By Occupation

Looking to be a Nurse? A Welder? Or perhaps an Office Administrator? A number of provincial and federal resources have been created that showcase occupational profiles and list the associated skill levels required for each respective occupation.

To find out how your skills apply to a particular occupation, or to browse the variety of occupations available, visit these resources:

Employment and Social Development Canada - Jobs and Training

Employment and Social Development Canada's Jobs and Training site provides links and resources relevant to education, training, skills development and employment in Canada.  The site contains resources targeted to immigrants, Aboriginals, apprentices, and temporary foreign workers, in addition to general or labour market, employment and training resources.

National Occucational Classification

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is Canada's national system for describing occupations. You can search the NOC to find where an occupation is classified or to learn about its main duties, skills, educational requirements, or other useful information.

Explore careers by Essental Skills

The Essential Skills Profiles describe how workers in various occupations use each of the key essential skills.  The profiles include a brief description of the occupation along with examples of tasks that illustrate how each skill is applied.  The profiles also contain complexity ratings that indicate the level skill needed for successful employment.
