What an occupational classification is
An occupational classification is an official framework that organises jobs into a structured set of standard categories, each with a defined title, description and code. It groups roles by the type of work performed and the skills involved, so that occupations can be described and compared consistently across employers, regions and data sources.
These classifications are maintained by official statistical or labour authorities and underpin a great deal of public labour-market information. Because they provide a common, neutral vocabulary for describing jobs, they are widely used in administration, statistics and workforce planning.
What this category of resource covers
- A structured hierarchy of occupational groups and individual roles.
- Standard titles, descriptions and codes for each occupation.
- A consistent way to describe the type of work and skills involved.
- A common reference used across official labour-market data.
- A basis for comparing occupations between sources and over time.
How employers and candidates use it
- Employers use standard occupation titles and codes to describe roles consistently.
- Employers use the classification when working with official forms and data.
- Candidates use it to understand how a role is officially categorised.
- Candidates use standard titles to align CVs and applications with recognised categories.
- Both sides use it as a shared, neutral vocabulary for occupations.
Each country has its own classification
Many countries maintain their own national occupational classification, often aligned with an international framework but using local codes and titles. To find the classification that applies to a particular country, follow the relevant country page in this section, which links to the official source.
