TEER 0 – Management jobs
TEER 1 – Jobs that usually require university education
TEER 2 – Jobs that usually require college education OR ≥ 2 year apprenticeships OR supervisory positions
TEER 3 – Jobs that usually require college education OR < 2 year apprenticeships OR > 6 months on-the-job training
TEER 4 – Jobs that usually require high school education OR several weeks on-the-job training
TEER 5 – Jobs with no education requirement, short on-the-job demonstration training
