Job Types
There are 8 Job Types: Structure of OSCA, by Occupation Group from 2024.
Replacing the ANZSCO ID. This
replacement and additions will take some time on this website but it is happening!
These hierarchical levels have a corresponding reference number
(‘code’) with a specific number of digits:
• major groups are represented by a single digit code
• sub-major groups by a 2 digit code
• minor groups by a 3 digit code
• unit groups by a 4 digit code
• occupations by a 6 digit code.
Each occupation in OSCA is defined by its
primary tasks. Each occupation’s definition may also include

At the beginning of June 2024, we
started putting "Critical Thinking Spots" onto our pages. These are mostly

The Critical Thinking Spots have questions to ponder after reading the article. It is hoped teachers and students, after a few minutes [3 - 5 mins] read, will take advantage of these spots for some deep thinking and maybe discussion. A great way to focus students at the beginning or end of a lesson.

"On the Job" is an official
online learning destination. Students undertaking online hours with On
the Job are recognised as part of this Equity program sponsored by the
Australian Government.

New Lesson Strategies created in 2026:
Google
Doodle Design
- great fun for the students and learning lots of graphic designs
principles.

Bingo
- another great game! This time students are to
match our cartoon characters [jobs displayed] with Italian names. Lots
of fun if you put your students in teams to see if how quickly the first
team calls out "Bingo". Don't forget to have a small reward on board!
