Locate occupations using military codes, with the updated MOC crosswalk.

O*NET OnLine's Crosswalk Search enables users of a variety of occupational coding systems to find matching O*NET-SOC occupations. The Military Occupational Classification (MOC) crosswalk helps transitioning military personnel locate appropriate civilian jobs.

Learn about cutting-edge Tools and Technology used in In-Demand occupations.

Tools and Technology (T2) data provides information on machines, equipment, tools, and software that workers may use for optimal functioning in a high performance workplace. The database has recently been updated with information on 100 additional occupations for a total of 427 updated high demand occupations. Emphasis is placed on cutting edge technologies and emerging workplace practices. Specific examples of tools and technology used within each occupation are organized into a standardized taxonomy (i.e., the United Nations Standard Products and Service Code - UNSPSC), allowing for cross-occupational comparisons and analysis. More information on this taxonomy is available from the UNSPSC web site external site. The complete T2 data files can be downloaded from the O*NET Resource Center.

We welcome feedback on the T2 database. We accept suggestions for new tools and technologies via our T2 feedback process. Suggestions will be considered for a future update of the T2 database.

Look for the "Tools & Technology" section of the Summary, Details, or Custom Report, or visit the Tools & Technology Search page. A listing of occupations with T2 data is available.
