All occu­pa­ti­ons in one click — The AMS world of occupations

The online Occupational Information System of the Austrian Public Employment Service (AMS) provides details on all occu­pa­ti­ons and app­ren­ti­ce­ships. 3s experts are con­stant­ly deve­lo­ping this tool and main­tai­ning its content.

The online Occupational Information System (BIS) went online for the first time in 2001 and since then has offered com­pre­hen­si­ve overviews on occu­pa­ti­ons, the required skills and qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons. Furthermore, education and training oppor­tu­ni­ties related to these careers are presented too. A link to the AMS eJob-Room allows the user to filter through current job offers and displays them on a map of Austria and the EU.

The BIS is divided into 15 occu­pa­tio­nal areas, offers short descrip­ti­ons of about 500 occu­pa­ti­ons including job tasks, skills-sets, salary details and further training oppor­tu­ni­ties. In addition, it contains about 17,500 job titles and more than 25,000 skills, so far.

The note­wor­t­hy added value of the BIS lies in its emphasis on inter­lin­king different types of career infor­ma­ti­on. In tandem to its public use it is also inte­gra­ted into the AMS-internal appli­ca­ti­on for coun­sel­ling services.
