Vocational Exploration
The purpose is to explore in-depth, the vocational aspects of your specific applied field/career. Use this guide to find relevant resources that will help you research your area of interest and answer some of the following questions:
- What is the current status of my chosen occupational area?
- Can I find a basic job description?
- What education or training will I need for this career?
- Job market projections: Is my career field growing? Are jobs in this field increasing or decreasing?
- Places of employment: Where will I work? Who's hiring?
- What is a "typical day" of work in my field?
- How much income/salary can I expect to make?
- Job postings: Where do I look? What are employers looking for in a candidate? What are some of the requirements or qualifications for this job?
This is just a start. Keep brainstorming your own questions!
