NOC Web Services

What is the National Occupational Classification Web Service?

The National Occupational Classification Web Service (NOCWS) is an electronic tool that enables you to integrate the NOC databases directly and seamlessly into your organization's Internet applications. When the central database is revised, the information in your site is automatically updated.

What other benefits can I expect?

NOCWS will help your organization provide better quality services to your clients. NOCWS is free of charge and by integrating it as a solution for your organization, you can:

  • Improve timely access to relevant occupational and skills information
  • Ensure accuracy and consistency of information in your products and services
  • Integrate occupational information into your Web site under your own look and feel
  • Save money on costs related to application development, database updating and maintenance

Not only will NOCWS provide you with a more effective and efficient way of obtaining and sharing NOC data, but it can also provide you with a virtual NOC coder that can assist you and your clients in accurately coding occupations.
