The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is a standardized system used in Canada to categorize and describe various occupations. It provides a framework for understanding job roles, responsibilities, and required skills across different industries. The NOC helps employers, job seekers, and policymakers by offering detailed information about the labor market. The classification system is regularly updated to reflect changes in the workforce and emerging job trends. Each occupation is assigned a unique code, making it easier to analyze employment data and support career planning. The NOC is an essential tool for workforce development and economic analysis in Canada.
