Career path
The skills this job asks for, and the level for each.
95 skills listed by ESCO, 52 of them essential. 95 are in our skills list and linked; we measure a match on those. ESCO gives no levels, so we ask for level 3 on an essential skill and 2 on the rest.
Occupation: ISCO-08 occupations (International Labour Organization). Skills: This service uses the ESCO classification of the European Commission (v1.2.1, CC BY 4.0), modified by CareersMatch.
