Occupational standards

Occupational standards refer to “the main components of a job that people do”, describing the professional competences typical of a jobholder who can successfully perform that occupation (AARHUS Tech 2012, 6).

ILO, Skills recognition mechanisms for selected occupational profiles of migrant workers in Ethiopia, Kenya and South Africa, 2022


Occupational Standards define the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for effective workplace performance. They specify what a person should know and do in order to effectively carry out the functions of a particular job in the context of the work environment. Standards are the agreed minimum best practice in an occupational Area and take into account all necessary statutory requirements.
