Zone 2: Some Preparation Needed
Some preparation. Usually a high school diploma, some previous work-related skill or experience, and a few months to a year of training with experienced workers.
Job Zone is O*NET's rating of how much education, experience and training an occupation typically needs — a property of the work, not of anyone doing it.

Job Zone and interest data are borrowed from Postal Service Mail Carriers (43-5052.00): in the official ESCO–O*NET crosswalk, its close O*NET match, and the best-ranked match that has them. ESCO doesn't publish them directly.
