The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) applied the Saudi Standard Classification of Occupations to the civil service jobs, through which it aims to access a developed occupational classification of civil service posts.

The classification includes several sub-initiatives that determine the basic tasks and skills required for every profession, find a unified language to define professions, and support the human resources operations by providing job description cards that help government entities determine duties, training, development and workforce planning.

It also links the current classification of jobs to the Saudi Standard Classification of Occupations, SPA reported, citing a ministry statement. The classification also updates professional titles that cover the civil service jobs and links them to the academic specialties in the labor market.
