National Occupational Classification (NOC)

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is Canada's system for organizing and describing various jobs and careers. It classifies occupations based on the type of work, skill level, and education needed, helping to standardize job information across the country. This helps employers, workers, and government agencies understand job requirements, assess qualifications, and manage immigration or labor market programs. Essentially, the NOC acts as a detailed directory of all Canadian jobs, making labor market information clear and accessible for various purposes.
