Disclaimers
This handbook is designed to provide helpful information on 246 select occupations. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information and data contained in the occupational sheets, there are a number of disclaimers to be noted.
Most occupations have been accorded alternative titles, however, this is not an exhaustive list and there may be other alternative titles which were not included. The same applies to related career opportunities associated with each occupation. The list of related career opportunities is not an extensive one and only incorporates few examples.
The classification structure for occupations is broadly based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08). Nevertheless, this handbook is tailored to meet national requirements and contexts. For instance, due to similarities between certain occupations, the same code was adopted.
Information on entry routes to an occupation, academic and vocational qualifications needed and legal requirements for licences and/or warrants are subject to change as prescribed by the educational institution or other legal/regulating body concerned.
Any references and links are provided for information purposes only and do not constitute endorsement of any websites or other sources. Users should be aware that these may change.
Jobsplus reserves the right to make additions and updates to the content of this manual as they become available to provide the most current information.
Users are encouraged to independently research and verify actual data and information.
