PDF Licensed Occupations Guide - Alabama

INTRODUCTION

The 2020 Edition of the Alabama Licensed Occupations Guide is published by the Labor Market Information (LMI) Division of the Alabama Department of Labor in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor. This product is designed as a tool for job seekers, career counselors, researchers, educators, and individuals or employers seeking data on licensed occupations in the State of Alabama. Occupations that require a form of licensure but do not have specific education, examination, or continuing education requirements are not included. This publication profiles on 149 different occupations. Each outline provides facts about a particular occupation and a contact for additional detailed information. When available, this guide includes the licensing agency's website addresses and toll-free numbers to better assist customers in contacting specific agencies.

Data Source

Information in this publication was gathered from several primary sources--regulatory agencies, boards, and commissions, and the Occupational Employment Statistics and

Workforce Development Units of the Alabama Department of Labor, Labor Market Information Division.

Our appreciation is extended to those entities providing input regarding occupational descriptions, minimum qualifications, application procedures, fees, current number of individuals licensed, and agency contact information. There may be additional detailed information located in the Alabama State Code or from the regulating agency. Some agencies also provide an online searchable database of licensees as well as references to the sections of Alabama State Code that pertain to a particular occupational field.

Occupational Projections 2018-2028 are included in this publication. Statewide data is provided by the Workforce Development Unit of the Labor Market Information Division. The national data included is provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Alabama Wage Survey was gathered in collaboration with the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Wage data in this publication is based the most current wage data of the Occupational Employment Report employment and wage estimate file.

This publication utilizes the O*Net database. O*Net is an occupational classification system that includes detailed analysis of worker attributes such as descriptions and skills, and job characteristics such as work duties and activities. More information is available online at usingOnet.html. The definitions for the occupations originate from O*Net. This is to ensure that the occupations fall into the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) System. Capturing and linking definitions and occupations in this manner ensures that LMI can provide additional comparable statistical information (i.e., projections, wages, licensing and education requirements, etc.) to the customer.

INTRODUCTION

(Continued)

This publication includes Career Clusters categories for each licensed occupation. Career Clusters are groupings of occupations and career specialties. These groupings are used as an organizing tool for high school faculty and career counselors when assessing and developing curriculum design and instruction. Occupations and career options are grouped into their Career Clusters which are based off guidelines that require both skills and training for career success. The Alabama Department of Education, Career Technical Education Division adopted the following 16 Career Clusters:

Agriculture, Food and Natural Resource; Architecture and Construction; Arts, Audio/Video Technology and

Communications; Business, Management and Administration; Education and Training; Finance; Government and Public Administration; Health Science;

Hospitality and Tourism; Human Services; Information Technology; Law, Public Safety, and Security; Manufacturing; Marketing; Science, Technology, Engineering and

Mathematics; and Transportation, Distributions, and Logistics.

Each cluster and the associated career pathway explore employment possibilities for all individuals and all ability levels. Icons identifying relevant career pathways are shown in this guide, in the licensing agency contact information section on each page. More information is available online at .
