Next Steps

Take the information you have learned about occupations from using the OCCU-Find and Career Information Resources and compare it to the information you have about yourself.


NOW YOU ARE READY TO START EXPLORING THESE CAREERS IN GREATER DETAIL

  • Further research the occupation(s) you have identified and determine what skills, education, and experience are required.

  • Ask yourself questions, such as does this occupation really appeal to me? How well does it fit with my interests and values? What skills are important for the occupation?

  • Identify what high school courses you have taken so far and could take to prepare you for selected occupations.

  • When possible, look at related careers, especially those that involve different education or training requirements.

  • Talk with your parents, teachers, neighbors, guidance counselor, and other people in the working world about your options.

  • "Try out" occupations by volunteering or serving as an apprentice or intern.

  • Interview individuals within occupations of interest.
