Goal
I would like for you to look at another Career Assessment and Research tool, California Career Zone. You may have already used and seen this before, but I’d like for you to see it again. There are a lot of similarities in the various Career Assessments I have shown you in class. This is because they all point to the O*Net which is the governmental site on Careers and Occupations. The various assessments I have given you are all designed to point to this website for Career and Occupation information with different web platforms and design tools to make it easier for your to research and find information. The reason why I am having you explore a variety of tools is so you can bookmark these and go back to them again and again during your college and career journey. You get to choose which ones to explore and go back to when you are searching, deciding and gathering information. Please log into California Career Zone and take a look at these features:
