Questions about the CIP to SOC crosswalk
What is the CIP to SOC crosswalk?
The CIP to SOC crosswalk is the official concordance maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It maps CIP 2020 instructional programs to SOC 2018 occupations. The match describes related work a graduate may enter. It is not a placement rate.
Does a CIP-to-SOC match represent actual employment counts?
No. The crosswalk is a qualitative mapping of related work, not a placement rate or an employment count. It indicates that an educational program is related to an occupation. It does not show whether graduates work in that field.
Can I map CIP codes to NAICS or SIC commercial industries?
Not from this crosswalk. CIP classifies instructional programs. NAICS and SIC classify businesses. You can take the SOC occupations linked to a program and compare them with BLS occupation-by-industry employment. That step is separate, and it is not a CIP-to-NAICS or CIP-to-SIC file.
Need companies, not just the code match?
This tool maps one code at a time. Request a verified NAICS or SIC business list for the industry you want to reach.
