The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Extension Survey is now available until 30 September, for all users of SOC. As a recognized framework that enables all UK occupations to be classified according to skill level and specialization, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) recognizes a need for a greater level of detail than is currently available within the SOC.
In order to rectify this the ONS is working with Warwick University’s Institute for Employment Research (IER) to launch a user engagement exercise looking at the level and nature of requirements.
To help improve occupational classification within the heritage sector complete the survey here. The deadline for responses is 30 September 2019.
