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."
