Occupational Profiles and Career Management Tools
Background
In 2005, the Council completed an initiative to define key job
families and occupations within the upstream petroleum industry. It
produced an overview of the occupations that is available in
brochure style at Careers in Oil &
Gas: Rich with Potential (PDF). This project provided the
foundation for Occupational Profiles.
The Key Job Family Structural Pyramid (see diagram) demonstrates
how industry occupations were placed into nine key job families,
which were further broken down into 70 job classifications (job
clusters), and below that hundreds of specific job titles were
identified.
The Key Job Family structural pyramid is built from the
'bottom up' in that clusters of jobs form classifications, and
clusters of classifications form key job families or occupational
groupings.
About Occupational Profiles
The Council developed 36 occupational profiles that detail
everything you need to know about work, education and career paths
for a specific occupation in oil and gas. The profiles are
available in the Profile Library.
The Council has also created Occupational Summaries that provide a quick
snapshot on work conditions, education, skills and minimum
qualifications for a variety of careers in the oil and gas
industry.
