Organising Framework for Occupations
• What is the OFO?
 Coded occupational categorisation system used
for identifying, reporting and monitoring skills
demand and supply in the South African labour
market
 get updated annually with input from industry
 All learning programs, occupations and
interventions identified in the SSP have to be
aligned to the OFO
CHIETA, The Catalyst for Enhanced Skills, Economic Growth and Employability
Organising Framework for Occupations
• Why the OFO?
 Adds value to skills planning and implementation
 Provides common language for occupations
 Frames jobs in the form of occupations
 Groups occupations into successfully broader
categories and levels based on similarity of tasks,
skill and knowledge
CHIETA, The Catalyst for Enhanced Skills, Economic Growth and Employability
OFO & Occupational Profiling
• Job titles more consistent and specific to the output of a
position
• Profile of an occupation broader and informs the position
profile and job description
• Good profile of an occupation provides the basis for the
qualification design
• Occupational and individual skills survey based on
occupational profile data → correct OFO alignment
and mapping
• CHIETA 1st Occupation Profile Dictionary(Dec 2012) to be
updated in 2013
