This information can be used to find careers to explore, search for occupations that use your skills, and use other classification systems (DOT, SOC, MOC, and RAIS) to find matching O*NET-SOC occupations. If your search identifies occupations that require skills or abilities that may be difficult to use because of a disability or health problem, a link is provided to the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) and SOAR (Searchable Online Accommodation Resource) of the U.S. DOL Office of Disability Employment Policy. Information in O*NET is updated twice a year. Each occupational title and code is based on the most current version of the Standard Occupational Classification system.
