Nurses

Classifying according to skill level, tasks are the same in major group 2 and 3

Professional nurses in major group 2 Nurses in major group 3 Assistant nurses in major group 5

Possible classifying criterion, according to the character of tasks performed:

Nurses „helping physicians” Nurses „working at the bed”

Teachers

Classifying according to skill level

Teaching professionals in major group 2 Teaching associate professionals in major group 3

Classifying teachers outside the educational system is problematic:

Vocational trainers in a company Language teachers not in the educational system

Technicians

Working under engineer’s direction Lower skill level Lower independence in work

Classification of technical occupations (engineers, technicians) is problematic, because the breaking down of these groups are not by tasks, but by branches (of study)!

Possible dimension of classification

Planning – manufacturing

Updating of Hungarian Standard Classification of Occupations

To enlarge the list of jobs To remove obsolete occupations To add new occupations To change the place of certain occupations in

the system To actualize the content description of

occupations

Enlarging of list of jobs

Classification method of managers is too complicated Distinction between major group 2 and 3 is

problematic Improving and actualizing of descriptions are needed Creation of new occupations are needed in
