KeSCO Interactive

Kenya Standard Classification of Occupations (KeSCO)

KeSCO is Kenya’s official occupational classification framework used to organise occupations into a structured hierarchy. It supports consistent coding, comparability across datasets (surveys, administrative records, and job vacancies), and better labour market reporting and analytics.
