My Next Move - Careers

 

If you are teaching or taking the Careers course or are a student just interested in what you might want to do when you leave school this US based website might be for you.  You can browse careers by keyword or by industry or just by what you like to do.  You will then get a list of careers.  Upon clicking on a career you will get a wealth of  information.

According to eSchool News, "With these resources, students take quizzes that match their current interests to potential careers, watch videos to see what it might look like to work in different career fields, and learn what skills, knowledge, and education requirements they’ll need to successfully pursue a career path in the field they are interested in."  To see the site click here.
