Career Information

Exploring Occupations

There are many resources available that can assist you in finding information about occupations. Information on salaries, job outlook, typical work duties, training and education required, and skills needed can be valuable when looking into particular occupations. Some of the resources available in the Career Resource Library include: the Occupational Outlook Handbook, America’s Fastest Growing Jobs, O*Net Dictionary of Occupation Titles, American Almanac of Jobs and Salaries, Best Jobs for the 21st Century.  

You may also access some resources over the Internet to get information about occupations that interest you, such as: 

The Occupational Outlook Handbook 

O*NET  

Other privately sponsored sites may also contain occupational information. When accessing these sites, be critical of the information and confirm that the source of the information is reliable.

 

To access these resources or to get assistance deciding which resources would work best for you, come to the Career Development Center and speak to a Career Counselor.
