The Association for Talent Development has been asked to help with an update to the Occupational Information Network or O*NET. O*Net is a free resource at www.onetonline.org, that is provided by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), used by millions for career exploration and job analysis, and serves as America’s primary source of occupational information.
DOL needs input from experienced talent development professionals. We hope you can help.
O*NET researchers at Research Triangle Institute are updating the classification of Training and Development Managers and need input to ensure the reference for this work is accurate and up-to-date.
