Occupations

The ESCO occupations pillar is built on ISCO-08 which serves as its hierarchical structure. ISCO-08 provides the top four levels for the occupations pillar and ESCO occupations are located at level 5 and lower. In ESCO, each occupation is mapped to exactly one ISCO-08 code.

All occupation concepts contain one preferred term and a number of non-preferred terms and hidden terms which varies across the 28 ESCO languages. An ESCO occupation includes additional information (metadata) such as descriptions, scope notes and information on regulatory aspects. Furthermore, each occupational profile lists the knowledge, skills and competences that experts considered relevant for this occupation.
