OCCUPATIONAL DESCRIPTIONS  

          Pertaining to each occupational title listed for the program courses, you will find below the complete "Occupational Description" from the Occupational Employment Statistics Survey (OES), and corresponding SOC/O^*NET code.  Published by the State of California/Employment Development Department's Labor Market Information Division, the OES provides a general overview of job classifications and typical job duties.  Related OES job titles are cross-referenced in the occupational descriptions; more information about those additional jobs can be found in the OES which is available for review at SFVS.  Because of changing technology and local job market variations, the OES occupational descriptions may at times be somewhat outdated or inaccurate.  For clarification and more information, please consult with your SFVS Placement Specialist.
