In looking at the NOC codes for those of interest to me, I was unable to find any. Titles such as Real Estate Investor were not present. It seems that identifying a skill gap is most appropriate for tasks / roles that don't fit into the NOC coding. However, the coding is well detailed for pretty much all employment positions. I use the skill gap analysis mostly on areas like personal nutrition, fitness, book keeping, and a variety of investment types. All the best, Justin Hi Janet,

Click on occupational descritpions and you will find 9 major occupation groups. Within these are subgroups and the various occupations which fall in that category. Each occupation has a NOC code. For instance, under the group Sales and Service Occupation, you will find the category Sales and Service supervisors and the related occupations. Click on the NOC code for the job you are interested in and you will get a description of that job complete with the main duties and employment requirements. You can also cross link this code with Essential Skills Profiles found in the Human Resource and Skills Development Canada website. Unfortunately, only those occupations requiring a high school education or less have been profiled. The rest are still being researched. We have used this with some of our adult students who are job searching. Hope this information is helpful to you! Hi Justin,
