Career pathways handbook

Each profile uses a consistent format to allow for easy reading and useful comparisons between occupations. While this book is based on a foundation of different occupations, it also includes valuable information on several hundred occupations via the career path and related occupations tables. It is important to me that the information in this book will not only be useful to readers, but also be as current and reliable as possible.

Therefore I have included the most recent information from reliable Government sources, as well as my own proprietary information from 20 years of extensive occupational research.

The Government sources are U. Department of Labor DOL programs. Finally, from our own research, I have added career path and "real people" career dialogue elements, and have enhanced and expanded the DOL information throughout. The Job Tasks have been expanded to make them more useful. The education and training information is based on DOL's Typical Education Levels, but has also been expanded for this book.

I have also written or rewritten many of the job outlook and analysis statements that are incorporated into the Employment Outlook sections. Finally, I have included a number of resource guides to help job seekers and career explorers reach their goals.

There are countless numbers of books both good and bad ones on all of these subjects, so I've included a list of my favorite books on my website under Readers' Resources see www. Now is the time to begin planning for that transition.
