Supplemental Occupation Profiles Form Creating the Supplemental Occupation Profiles Form  What if the report doesn’t answer all parts of Standard A? 11

Supplemental Occupation Profiles Form  What if the college looks up the occupation and the data for the area is insufficient?  The college will populate the Supplemental Occupation Profiles Form by gathering information from their local workforce, industry/business partners, and/or the Oregon Employment Department.  The Supplemental Occupation Profiles Form is submitted in addition to the Occupation Profiles Report. 12

Supplemental Occupation Profiles Form  What if the Occupation Profile Report combines two occupations that are very different to the college?  The Occupation Profiles Report’s structure mirrors that of the federal government. This creates seamless reporting across the nation; however, this can cause confusion as a college attempts to locate an occupation. The federal government groups certain occupations together. An example is the combining of Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics.  The Supplemental Occupation Profiles Form is submitted in addition to the Occupation Profiles Report. 13
