Career Research Resources: Occupational Research

The Job Bank of Canada, a Government of Canada website, provides job and labour market information tailored to an occupation and location through its Explore Careers Sub-site. You can find jobs, wages, skills, qualifications, and more. It is possible to search by Job Title or NOC within individual provinces, territories or cities in Canada.

This is made available by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the United States. For hundreds of different types of jobs this database tells you the training and education needed, earnings, expected job prospects, working conditions and more.

Ontario has over 40 regulated professions. These professions require special educational requirements and licensing before you can be a practitioner (i.e. doctor, lawyer, CPA). Use this site to locate the relevant regulatory body for a profession and learn more about joining a regulated profession.

Ontario has 23 compulsory trades. This means that practitioners in these trades must register as an apprentice, journeyperson candidate or be certified as a journeyperson. This page includes factsheets for the 23 compulsory trades.
