Why Focus on N&E Why Focus on N&E Occupations?Occupations?

• Increase occupational coverage of the O*NET

• Current DoL focus on high growth industries due to President’s High Growth Initiative

• Help regions and business look to the future

12

Who Benefits from Having N&E Information?

• People who are looking for new careers

• People searching for new pathways within their current industry

• Education and training organizations who want to develop programs to meet employee and employer needs

• Regional economies who want to plan 5 and 10 years out

13

How Do You Identify N&E How Do You Identify N&E Occupations ?Occupations ?

• General concepts– Examine available training and certifications– Scan job postings– Review Internet sites– Employer suggestions– Review information from

professional associations– Search journals

14

O*NET Definition of N&E O*NET Definition of N&E REVIEW OF PILOT STUDYREVIEW OF PILOT STUDY

• Occupations that– Involve significantly different work than other

occupations– Not adequately reflected by existing

O*NET/SOC taxonomy

• Both criteria must be met

15

Other CriteriaOther Criteria

• Significant number of employees working in the occupation

• Positive growth rate• Use different or new technologies• Produce unique type of information or product or

achieve a new set of outcomes• Should perform significantly different work than

other occupations

16

Some Other CriteriaSome Other Criteria

• Require different levels or types of education and training

• Developed due to changes in technology, society, law, or business practices

• Related licensure or certification requirements

• Related professional organizations

17

Some Other CriteriaSome Other Criteria

• Has related journal or professional publications

• Can be described at a similar level of detail to current O*NET occupations

• Output is a different kind of service or product

The Process – Step 1The Process – Step 1

• Identify candidate occupations– Focusing on In-Demand industries– Look for growth and change within the industry

• Focus on new technologies, business practices, laws, etc. that could affect the way work is performed

– Conduct web searches• Industry, association, educational web site• Job postings like Monster and Career Builder

– Follow leads from DoL/ETA• ETA partners, industries, other resources• Use web to search

The Process – Step 2The Process – Step 2• Quality check information from previous

step

• Submit candidates to DoL/ETA for consideration and approval– Include general information, background, and

trends– Listing of titles and draft definition– Comparison of occupation to N&E criteria

25


• Produce a task list for each approved N&E occupation– Related websites that should be searched– Tasks and suggestions given by industry

experts

26


• Finalize occupation profiles– Such items as essential tasks– Alternate titles

27


• Create profiles and submit to DoL/ETA for approval– O*NET-SOC code, title, description– Task list with essential tasks listed– Alternate titles
