Every occupation UCM teaches toward (and a few the Island hires for without a UCM route), with what AI does to it, how long it takes to get there, and how many vacancies are live right now. Designed to answer "is this job worth training for?" in one glance.
These score highly on AI augmentation (AI lifts your output rather than replacing your tasks), have UCM pathways you can actually enrol on, and have IoM employers hiring right now. Sorted by a composite of live vacancies + augmentation lift − automation risk. The student-facing answer to "what should I train for if I want a future-proof career on the Island?"

What counts as an occupation here: every UK SOC 2020 code that at least one ACTIVE UCM parent course matches to, plus any SOC with an AI Career Outlook generated from the census / labour-market data.
Training lag: the fastest qualifying UCM route into the occupation, derived from the category (AP/FE/HE/SB/AL) and qualification level of the shortest course that leads there. Trades skew long (plumbing: 36 months) — the lag column shows this explicitly, so a "shortage today" isn't mistaken for a problem that a fresh course launches can fix by autumn.
AI verdict: one of Resilient (low automation, low FO), Augmented (aug > auto, a human-centric role AI amplifies), Mixed (balanced or uncertain), or At Risk (high automation or FO). Generated by Azure OpenAI over each SOC's exposure metrics.
Course counts: matching courses = every UCM course where the keyword mapper flagged this SOC; primary-for = courses where this SOC is the FIRST (most-specific) match. Primary-for is the cleaner signal for "UCM trains toward this role directly."
