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 530 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
. The complete T2 data files can be downloaded from the O*NET Resource Center.
We welcome feedback on the T2 database. T2 information for 166 occupations has been enhanced with the help of customer input. After reviewing an occupation's current T2 information, you can submit specific suggestions for adding more examples of tools or technology through our T2 feedback process.
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.

The Military Occupational Classification (MOC) crosswalk helps transitioning military personnel locate appropriate civilian jobs. The MOC crosswalk has been updated by the Department of Defense (October 2009). Over 9,000 MOC occupations are linked to related O*NET-SOC occupations.
