Notice Title

Provision for Services to Develop a 5th Digital Level for the Standard Occupation Classification

Notice Description

The Standard Occupational Classification is the taxonomic system that applies to most sources of occupational statistics in the United Kingdom. At a meeting convened by the Gatsby Foundation in March 2018 it was concluded that there should be a coordinated effort to incorporate more detail into the SOC, than was available at the current unit group (4-digit) level.
