The Occupations and Tasks section of the OSP begins with a list of occupations included in the OSP, as well as the level of occupation or training required for each occupation. If you click on the checkmark beside any occupation title, you will see a chart that illustrates the Essential Skills and skill levels used in this occupation. You will also find sample workplace tasks, grouped by Essential Skill and skill level, which show you how people use their Essential Skills on the job. You can print different OSP Occupational Profiles for future reference.
But that's not all. Scroll down the page in any occupational profile for links to information on career exploration, education and training as well as employment trends and opportunities. Click on the Canada Futures link in any profile to get information on wages and salaries and job requirements for that occupation. As you can see, the OSP Occupational Profiles allow you to access a lot of employment information in just one place.
The OSP currently has over 350 occupations in the database with more on the way. If your occupation is not currently in the OSP, you can go to the National Occupational Classification (NOC). The NOC provides information on the duties and responsibilities as well as the level of education and training required for different occupations.
Next Steps
