Hi,
What databases do you all purchase at the high school level for students to research careers (for papers, not for Guidance program purposes)?
In addition to our catalog offerings, websites, and general databases, we have been using Choices Career Explorer for years and found it to be a great career-focused database where students could get a solid overview source. Their product has changed a bit, and we are debating whether we should stick with it or try something new. If we tried something new, we would want it to be comparable to what Choices offers: good overview information that touches upon each career's skills, education, salary range, employment forecast, working conditions, work values, etc. (They often have interviews and additional resources to offer, as well.)
If you've had good experiences with any other career-themed databases, please let us know. :)
Thank you,
