 It is a system that provides information such as:
 The education or schooling required to obtain specific
jobs
 The skills and abilities needed to adequately do
specific jobs
 The salaries of different jobs
 The type of people that typically do certain jobs
How does this type of information
help students?
 By researching different jobs, you are able to
make decisions about the classes that you take
that will better prepare you for the career path that
you follow.
 By knowing about different jobs you can begin to
take the steps that you need to take in order to
enter the field in which you are interested.
 Begin to improve certain skills that are required
by jobs that interest you.
How does *ONET work?

occupation that you want to learn about.
 For instance, if you type in “Welder” a list of jobs will
come up. Click on the one you would like to research .
Then, all of the information about that occupation will
come up.
 3. You can them click on the different items that
interest you such as tasks, tools & technology,
knowledge, skills, abilities, work activities, work
context, job zone, education, etc
What other jobs would you like to know
about?
 Note that although there are many jobs in this
database, not every job is represented by the website
 You can also search occupations through the
“Advanced Search”. This option allows you to browse
occupations by entering in information to learn the
type of job that matches that information
 For instance, choose skills from the drop down menu and
then click on basic skills. Next, select mathematics.
Occupations that require math skills will then be
displayed.
Try this on your own time!
 There are many more options that this website
offers that we do not have the time to research
today.

your own.
