Manitoba PNP Draw September 21, 2023: List of Targeted Occupations
The most recent MPNP Draw invited applications from the Skilled Worker Program are from people who are currently employed in high-demand occupations in Manitoba, as classified under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 major groups.
| Occupation Code | Profile |
| 64 | Sales and service representatives and other customer and personal services occupations |
| 65 | Sales and service support occupations |
Sales and service representatives and other customer and personal services occupations – 64
This group includes sales and service reps, as well as other customer-facing jobs. These jobs require a TEER level 4, which stands for Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibility. In other words, you need to have some training or education in the field, some experience working with customers, and be able to handle a lot of responsibility.
Occupations classified in TEER 4, which are those with a 4 as the second digit of their code, typically require the following:
- Completion of secondary school.
- Several weeks of on-the-job training with some secondary school education.
- Experience in a related occupation from TEER 5, when applicable (TEER 5 includes occupations with a 5 as the second digit in their code).
| Sub-major Group | NOC Code |
| Retail salespersons and non-technical wholesale trade sales and account representatives | 641 |
| Occupations in personal service | 642 |
| Occupations in food, accommodation and tourism | 643 |
| Occupations in customer, information and protective services | 644 |
Sales and service support occupations – 65
The major group of jobs that require little formal education and on-the-job training includes sales and customer service. These jobs are a great option for people who want to get started in the workforce quickly. Sales jobs involve interacting with customers to promote and sell products or services.
Customer service jobs involve providing support to customers after they have purchased a product or service. Both of these types of jobs can be challenging, but they can also be rewarding. Salespeople can earn a commission on their sales, and customer service representatives can help customers resolve problems and feel satisfied with their purchases.
| Sub-major Group | NOC Code |
| Sales support occupations | 651 |
| Support occupations in food, accommodation and tourism | 652 |
| Support occupations in cleaning and related services | 653 |
