The nomenclature of job profiles presents an accurate profile of the Mauritian ICT/BPO sector, especially from the human resource management/development perspective. A job profile therefore contains descriptions of each skill and the level required. This nomenclature of 33 jobs has been developed jointly by the IT Commission of La Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie France Maurice (CCIFM) and the Outsourcing and Telecommunications Association of Mauritius (OTAM).

Public trust in the integrity of the Government is paramount and complying with the set Code of Ethics is the first step in this process. Public officers need to know the basic principles and standards they are expected to apply to their work and where the boundaries of acceptable behaviour lie. Every team must demonstrate good work ethics and values to keep the performance of the Public Sector at its best.
