2. LABOUR MARKET
• Knowing how the job market in a city is before moving into or starting to work there can be
very helpful.
• Labour market information tells you:
What jobs and skills employers are looking for
Which industries are hiring and where they are located
Where to find employers who are hiring
What working conditions are like for specific industries
What education and training you need for specific jobs
What factors can stop you from getting a job
Which job areas are growing in the future and other statistics

4. NOC
• The National Occupational Classification, or NOC, is a systematic taxonomy in English of
all occupations in the Canadian labour market.
• It has 923 distinct jobs in terms of aptitudes, interests, education, physical activities, and
other qualifiers.
• The NOC is used by program planners, labour economists, rehabilitation professionals,
others in the health and social services fields and insurance companies and litigators.
5. MY CAREER
• When I grow up I would like to be a physiotherapist. This interests me because I am very
athletic and I understand how muscles can be sore or harmed in your body.
• I have a very positive attitude and I like to help people when they need it. I feel that my
personaltity matches this job
