NOC for Job Searching

Knowing the NOC code for your occupation before doing a job search can make searching easier and faster. Government job boards such as Job Bank and WorkBC organize job postings by the NOC code, so if you know the NOC code you can easily search for all jobs under that code.

If an employer includes a NOC number in a job posting, you are able to check the job description that will list special requirements for experience or education. The NOC also lists any related professions that require the same skills.

Note:

• Even though NOC is a standardised system, many private companies are unfamiliar with NOC and may describe a job title differently than the NOC.
