Overview

The purpose of the NSPA-SPE-PRO list is to define occupations in the context of scholarship eligibility and applications.

Usage

In the NSPA Exchange, a profession is a career, job, or occupation. The list is updated as specific programs are found that relate different professions.

Note that elsewhere in the NSPA Exchange data model, we use the very detailed, hierarchical Standard Occupational Classification codes (SOC Codes) to indicate current professions. The programs we’ve seen to date are less specific about future profession requirements than about current profession requirements — but, if we discover a similar breadth to future professions, we will consider unifying the list.
