How to complete TSA charts and search the NOC-Career Handbook to generate a list
of potentially suitable occupations based on workers experience and demonstrated
aptitudes.
A clients historical estimated aptitude profile may be considered to generate options for further
exploration and may thus be derived from past jobs using a transferable skills analysis approach.
A transferable skills analysis is the process of analyzing the qualification profile of the individuals work
history as a means of identifying employment potential. The assumption is that if an individual
performed an occupation and was competent at the occupation, then he/she must possess at least the level
of aptitudes required for that occupation. In more detail, a transferability of skills analysis is a methodical
approach for estimating the vocational potential of an individual. Information pertaining to the
educational, employment, physical, social and/or psychological status of the individual is significant to
the process of determining vocational potential. By quantifying these experiences and competencies in
the same terms as used in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) Career Handbook,
conclusions can be drawn with respect to the level of match between the abilities of an individual and the
demands of various occupations.
The NOC offers analyses of over 30,000 occupations, based on studies of the actual work performed by
Canadians. It attempts to quantify various aspects of a particular job such as aptitudes, work preferences,
physical activities, body positions, strength, environmental conditions and education/training indicators
for example, thereby developing a Worker Qualification Profile (WQP) for each occupation described.
The WQP allows one to determine the levels of employment aptitude required to competently perform the
essential demands of any occupation, as well as the level of physical demand, vocational interests,
academic requirements, temperaments, environmental conditions and training requirements associated
with each of the occupations defined in the NOC. It should be noted that a WQP profile developed using
historical data does not necessarily reflect the individuals true potential in that he or she may in fact be
functioning at a higher or lower level, which can be measured by means of formal vocational testing. The
following is a TSA analysis of a sample client. (This sample client has had the following jobs: swimming
pool installer, small appliance repairer, fork lift operator, roofers. He completed the CWPI and his interest
code is OMD)
HOW TO FIND THE NOC-CH CODE OF WORK HISTORY JOBS:

Click SEARCH and the result(s) will show the Occupational Title with NOC-CH Code
6.
Click on the occupational title, you will get all the occupational descriptors such as aptitude profile, interest
codes, and Data People Thing (DPT) profile.
Note: If you get more that one occupational title in the search, choose the occupational title that best
reflects the job performed by the client by reviewing its introductory statement, examples of job titles, and
main characteristics.
Repeat the process above for all the jobs in the work history to complete the TSA chart.
This sample shows the profile summary of a person whose work history is made up by the following four
occupational titles:
1. Installer and Servicers NOC-CH 7441
2. Roofers NOC-CH 7291.1
3. Appliance Servicers and Repairers NOC-CH 7332.1
4. Material Handler NOC-CH 7452.2

Table #6 INTERESTS
The Canadian Work Preference Inventory (CWPI) measures five occupational interests.
Description of Interests Based on Tested Interest:
D
Directive persons like to take charge and control situations. They like to
take responsibility for projects that require planning, decision making and
co-ordinating the work of others. They are able to give direction and
instructions easily. They enjoy organizing their own activities. They see
themselves as independent and self-directing.
Methodical persons like to have clear rules and organized methods to guide
their activities. They prefer working under the direction or supervision of
others according to given instructions, or to be guided by established
policies and procedures. Methodical persons like to work on one thing until
it is completed. They enjoy following a set routine and prefer work that is
free from the unexpected.
Objective persons enjoy working with tools, equipment, instruments and
machinery. They like to repair and/or fabricate things from various
materials according to specifications and using established techniques.
Objective persons are interested in finding out how things operate and how
they are built.
Social persons like dealing with people. They enjoy caring for and assisting
others in identifying their needs and solving their concerns. Social persons like
working and co-operating with others. They prefer to be involved in work that
requires interpersonal contact.
Table # 7 STRENGTH
Strength refers to the use of strength in the handling of loads such as pulling, pushing, lifting and/or
moving objects during the work performed, as defined by the national Occupational Classification,
Second Editions (NOC). It is important to note that actual strength requirements and physical
activities/requirements of a particular occupation can vary from the generic NOC description. It is
recommended that the physical demands/strength requirements of a specific occupation be verified by
contacting potential employers directly to ensure suitability.

2. Under Aptitudes, enter the best of values obtained in the TSA in the first column and do
specify a range by adding a value just below that in the first column in the second column
(note: do not enter a level 5 in 2nd column) (see picture below)
3. Scroll below and click SEARCH, youll obtain a list of occupational titles that match the
aptitudes profile obtained in the TSA (i.e. The best of aptitudes values in work history jobs. In
this sample client, we obtained a list of 259 occupations which is the starting point for further
career exploration.
Using a transferable skills approach, the general occupational areas for which a client could be considered
potentially suitable by reason of his experience have thus be obtained. You can refine or expand the
search of occupations by trying other ratings (interests, DPT, education and so on).
