[CASL-L] Career Database for Research?

[Janice Pellegrino]

Hi Isabel -

I really like the Salem "Careers In" series. The print volumes come with
complimentary online access. I purchase those along with some standalone
titles for specific in-demand careers. We also use the Occupational Outlook
Handbook https://www.bls.gov/ooh/, as well as Naviance and our Testing
Education & Reference Center database for career info. College Board also
has something new called RoadTrip Nation which looks good for career
exploration. (I think it contains interviews with people currently working
in various fields.) https://collegeboard.roadtripnation.com/
