Classification criteria: skill level
Occupational sheets are organised by skill level:
This refers to the function of the complexity and range of tasks and duties to be performed in an occupation. Skill level is measured by considering one or more of:
• The nature of the work performed in an occupation in relation to the characteristic tasks and duties defined for each skill level;
• The level of formal education required for competent performance of the tasks and duties involved;
• The amount of informal on-the-job training and/or previous experience in a related occupation
required for competent performance of these tasks and duties.
The ISCO-08 defines 4 broad Skill Levels (defined in the table below). These definitions were used to form the foundations for the Occupational Handbook.
