TEER and NOC
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is Canada’s system for categorizing occupations. The NOC 2021 introduces a new framework called TEER (Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities), which replaces the old “Skill Level” system.
Key Points:
- NOC: Classifies all occupations in Canada, uses a 5-digit code to organize jobs into categories and subcategories
- TEER: Part of NOC 2021, categorizes occupations into six levels based on training, education, experience, and responsibilities; TEER categories range from TEER 0 (management occupations) to TEER 5 (occupations requiring short-term work demonstration)
