The occupational maps show all the occupations for which apprenticeships and technical qualifications are available. They group occupations with related knowledge, skills and behaviours, making it easier to see how they relate to one another.
Skills England has 15 official routes each of which can be viewed as a map.
If you know which route you are interested in, you can click on a diamond to explore that map.
Alternatively, you can also view all 15 routes as one map by selecting the ‘view all 15 routes’ diamond.
The structure of an occupational map
An occupational map is a collection of occupations. The occupations are placed on the map under a route, pathway and cluster.
The occupations are clustered by technical level. The titles of the clusters have been developed to cover all the occupations within that cluster. There are three levels of occupations. Each one is represented as a column: Technical (level 2 and 3 occupations), Higher Technical (level 4 and 5) and Professional (level 6 and 7).

You can learn more about qualification levels on GOV.UK
You can also collapse and expand clusters by clicking the diamond to the left of the clusters.
Alternatively, you can expand and collapse the pathways, clusters and occupation cards at the same time by using the expand and collapse buttons located at the top left of the map.
