National Occupational Standards (NOS)

National Occupational Standards (NOS) are detailed guidelines that define the skills, knowledge, and performance needed for specific jobs or roles within an industry. They serve as a benchmark to ensure workers meet consistently high standards, helping employers, employees, and training providers understand what is required to perform a job effectively. NOS support workforce development by guiding training programs, assessments, and career progression, ensuring that skills align with industry needs and expectations across the country.
