The O*NET Program is the nation's primary source of occupational information. Valid data are essential to understanding the rapidly changing nature of work and how it impacts the workforce and U.S. economy. From this information, applications are developed to facilitate the development and maintenance of a skilled workforce. Central to the project is the O*NET database, containing hundreds of standardized and occupation-specific descriptors on almost 1,000 occupations covering the entire U.S. economy. The database, available to the public at no cost, is continually updated from input by a broad range of workers in each occupation. O*NET information is used by millions of individuals every year, including those taking advantage of O*NET Online, My Next Move, and other publicly and privately developed applications. The data have proven vital in helping people find the training and jobs they need, and helping employers find the skilled workers necessary to be competitive in the marketplace. The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) is developed under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA) through a grant to the North Carolina Department of Commerce. <a href="https://www.onetcenter.org/about.html">Learn more about the O*NET project partners.</a> <hr size="1"> The O*NET Content Model Every occupation requires a different mix of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and involves a variety of activities and tasks. These distinguishing characteristics of an occupation are described by the <a href="https://www.onetcenter.org/content.html">O*NET Content Model</a>, which defines the key features of an occupation as a standardized, measurable set of variables called "descriptors". This hierarchical model starts with six domains, describing the day-to-day aspects of the job and the qualifications and interests of the typical worker. The model expands to 277 descriptors collected by the O*NET program, with more collected by other federal agencies, such as the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/" title="https://www.bls.gov/">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>. <hr size="1"> O*NET Data Collection The O*NET-SOC taxonomy defines the occupations, and the Content Model outlines the information collected; the <a href="https://www.onetcenter.org/dataCollection.html">Data Collection program</a> brings these frameworks to life with results from the working public. This information is continuously updated by collecting data  from selected workers and occupation experts. The data are incorporated into new versions of the database on an <a href="https://www.onetcenter.org/ombclearance.html">annual schedule</a>, to provide up-to-date information on occupations as they evolve over time. The latest database releases are available from the <a href="https://www.onetcenter.org/developers.html">Developer's Corner</a>. </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="132" bgcolor="#22599F"> </td> <td> <hr size="1" width="95%"> <center> <a href="/about.cfm" onMouseOver="window.status='About ONET';return true">About O*NET</a> | <a href="/survey.cfm" onMouseOver="window.status='About the Survey';return true">About the Survey</a> | <a href="/about_rti.cfm" onMouseOver="window.status='About RTI';return true">About RTI</a> <a href="/contact.cfm" onMouseOver="window.status='Contact Us';return true">Contact Us</a> | <a href="https://onet.rti.org/project/index.cfm" onMouseOver="window.status='Login';return true">Login</a> OMB # 1205-0421   expires 11/30/2024 Last Update 07 September 2017 Research Triangle Institute © B45 </center> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="132"><img src="/images/cell_bottom.gif" width="132" height="24"></td> <td valign="top"> <center> </center> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
