Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has developed a Skills and Competencies Taxonomy to complement other federal, provincial, and territorial employment programs involving skills identification and utilization.
The taxonomy streamlines the terminology of hundreds of occupational descriptors used in the labor market. It improves the comparability of concepts and their application throughout occupations and sectors.
