Career Information Sources

Wherever possible, we have used the National Occupational Classification (NOC), which is Canada's official career dictionary. The 4-digit numbers listed as links are the NOC code(s) for career clusters most typical for the listed program.

When there was no NOC code that generally reflected the career field(s) the program leads to, we looked for alternative career information that was Canadian, and free of any commercial interest or angle (e.g., professional/trade association web sites).

For additional career and labour market information (wages, job prospects, etc.), try using the resources on our Research Options page.
