The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the nationally accepted reference on occupations in Canada. It organizes over 30,000 job titles into 520 occupational group descriptions. It is used daily by thousands of people to compile, analyze and communicate information about occupations, and to understand the jobs found throughout Canada's labour market.

Wondering Where Your Degree Might Lead You?

Career Advisors and Career Peer Educators help students reach their goals through on-on-one advising, workshops, in-class presentations and career events and fairs. We also bring employers on campus.

Test drive your career options by alternating your study semester with paid work semesters in your intended field. Co-op students graduate with a year or more of experience, contacts and a resume that shines.

Volunteering and getting engaged in the community are excellent ways to meet interesting people, get great experience, develop or gain skills, help the community, or further an important cause.

An award-winning educational resource for SFU students, the OLC combines blogs, profiles, multimedia, dynamic learning resources and more for the career-minded student.
