SEE CAREERS IN ACTION! The Cambridge Career Center is much more than just the O*NET™ on a disc. 200 minutes of video, 20 minutes of audio narration, and plenty of graphics accompany more than 1,100 detailed job descriptions, giving students a clear idea of what work is like in each occupation.
EXPLORE THE BUSINESS WORLD WHILE RESEARCHING CAREERS! The program’s three sections—Career Overview, My Careers, and View All Careers—can help students develop a deeper understanding of the business world while gaining insights into occupations that best suit their preferences.
CAREER OVERVIEW: students can explore the O*NET™ by the Department of Education’s career clusters. Text, audio narration, and colorful graphics make this a great introduction to the incredibly diverse world of work.
MY CAREERS: students can gain a deeper sense of their employment possibilities by taking a two-tier interactive assessment in which they prioritize their work values and set parameters on education, training, and special skills. The computer correlates their results with job descriptions from the O*NET™ database and compiles a list of potential careers. And because all user profiles are saved to the hard disk, students can access My Careers over and over without having to re-take the assessment.
VIEW ALL CAREERS: for students who already know where they’re headed, this feature allows them to directly access data for any of the disc’s occupational listings. Each information screen contains a wealth of data—including a QuickTime® video clip for the 100 most frequently chosen jobs. Every career description on the CD-ROM, as well as the list of recommended occupations generated in My Careers, is printable for easy reference.
GIVE THEM THE EDGE! Today’s job market is more competitive than ever, which is why students need every advantage they can get. The Cambridge Career Center puts more of those advantages in their hands than any other single resource. A Cambridge Educational Production.
