The National Occupational Classification (NOC) matrix provides an overview of the entire NOC structure. It illustrates the relationship between broad occupational categories (BOC) and TEER categories, thus, the 45 major groups (the first two digits of the NOC code).

BOCs are displayed in rows and are represented by numbers zero (0) to nine (9) while TEER categories are displayed in columns and are identified by numbers zero (0) to five (5).

It is possible to select a matrix associated with a previous version of the classification (NOC 2006, 2011, and 2016).
