There are scores of varied occupations in the mining industry. Probably
more than you ever imagined!
Two valuable online resources for obtaining information on these numerous
occupations is the National
Occupational Classification (NOC) Web site and JobFutures.ca.
The NOC assigns each occupation a four digit code, following a methodical
structure based on sector and skill level, and lists sample job titles,
main duties and employment requirements for that occupation. JobFutures.ca
provides a wealth of specific information on about 226 occupational groups:
- what they do
- where they find work
- education/training needed
- work prospects through to 2007
- wage ranges
- employment statistics.
Occupations identified as most applicable to the mining industry are
listed below by category. Once you select a category, click on the four
digit code to view the NOC listing. Click on "Profile" to link to the
JobFutures.ca page for the position (be sure to click on the "More Information"
tabs near the bottom of the page for the full profile).
