The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is a tool for helping Canadians to understand the world of work. It describes duties, skills, interests, aptitudes, education requirements and working settings for occupations in the Canadian labour market. Statisticians, labour market analysts, career counsellors and individual job seekers use this system to organize and interpret statistics and other labour market facts.

This site provides access to the 1992 version of the NOC and Career Handbook.
