C

urrent occupational profiles are based on ISCO

The profiles in the Handbook are based on occupational profiles from International Labour Organisation’s International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) System 2008:

Hierarchically structured classification with occupations arranged into unit groups (436 groups), minor groups (130), sub-major groups (43) and major groups (10), based on their similarity in terms of the skill level and skill specialisation required.

Allows the production of relatively detailed internationally comparable data

Facilitates communication between countries about occupations.

Provides a titling and code convention for the listed occupations as well the main tasks and duties performed in the occupations.

Gives more emphasis to the nature of work performed than to education and training requirements of occupations.

Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030 – influences future direction and future demand for requisite skills

Strategic enablersCore

“Life Skills”Industry groupings with hierarchy level career clusters

Career clusters and pathways

Slide16

Career Clusters –

Industry Group 6The Handbook has classified career clusters and career pathways into industry groups.

One benefit in particular is that common underpinning bodies of knowledge and skills, often recognized in an educational and training discipline, or which support a pre-existing discipline for a newly created job, can be drawn together for educational and training efficiency and efficacy. (p. 50 of Handbook).

Focus Group Question 6:

Should NQA change the clustering for

the sector?
