OverviewThis course compares three occupational classification systems: the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT), O*NET and ERI’s enhanced Dictionary of Occupational Titles (eDOT). We look at the advantages and disadvantages of each, showing where each system may be of most use in assisting the unemployed, college graduate, disabled individual or individuals making a career change. Then we examine how the data in each would stand up under court challenge.
Learning Objectives:
  • Identify the uses of an occupational classification system
  • Distinguish between the methodologies of the DOT, O*Net, and eDOT
  • Determine which major classification system should be used for a specific analysis
  • Indicate the advantages of the eDOT classification system
  • Identify the components required for an occupational classification system to stand up in litigation
