Occupational maps

All Apprenticeships, Higher Technical Qualifications, and T Levels are based on occupations recognised by employers. The Occupational Maps bring these together to show where technical education can lead. There are 15 maps, one for each route.

They help employers and individuals to understand routes for progression and how occupations at different levels link together.
