Build your future with O*NET OnLine.
The O*NET program is the nation's primary source of
occupational information. The O*NET database contains
information on hundreds of standardized and
occupation-specific descriptors. It is free and continually
updated by surveying a broad range of workers from each
occupation.
Information from this database forms the heart of O*NET OnLine,
an interactive application for exploring and searching
occupations. The database also provides the basis for our
Career Exploration Tools, a set of valuable assessment
instruments for workers and students looking to find or change
careers.
Descriptions of occupations are classified by the U.S.
Department of Labor’s
Standard
Occupation Classification (SOC) system, and contain
information about both worker and workforce characteristics.
ICT faculty can use O*NET OnLine to learn about emerging,
in-demand, and innovative jobs that will be available to their
students. You can also help students discover new career
possibilities by matching their interests, skills, and
academic path with occupations in the database.
