National Occupational Standards Review and Update

The objectives of the work included in this RFP are to review and update fifty existing NOS for occupations identified by CAHRC. The NOS will be updated through secondary and primary research. The primary research will include consultation and validation with subject matter experts in the specific occupations through virtual focus groups and key informant interviews. The process and annual final delivery will follow the same format and approach as the existing NOS and include the NOS, job descriptions, job ads and job profiles. With the rapid introduction of automation, digitalization, AI and technology as well as changing workforce needs, this RFP also includes an annual review, update and validation process for an additional four years following the initial update in year one.
