Third Quarter - EOFC Project
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
~ Walt Disney
“Be courageous! Dare to explore what you love and what is most important to you. Don’t waste time assessing yourself as you are now. Dream and plan for who you want to be in the future.”
~ Betty Jo Matzinger Lash, Associate Director, Georgetown University Career Center
“When looking for any position, I look for people who have a grasp of computers and good communication skills. I also look for people who can work well with others, adapt easily to change, and be creative when looking for new ways to do things.”
~ Debbie Bornholdt, Human Resource Manager QVC, Electronic Retailer West Chester, PA
This quarter (on the first week of March) we will start with the "Exploring Our Future Careers" Project, also known as EOFC Project. Please read the instructions carefully and spend a good amount of time researching the type of careers you think you'll be interested in pursuing in your future.
Goal: to do some research about possible future careers. Students should select at least six “possible” future careers (even if it’s different careers in just one field, e.g. Healthcare). Each field of interest has many different possibilities.
You will work individually for this project (it is not a “group project” – but you can help each other while you’re working on it).
The websites to check are: http://www.bls.gov/. From this site you can also go to: www.bls.gov/k12/index.htm, www.bls.gov/k12/azlist.htm, http://www.bls.gov/oco/home.htm (Check the Occupational Outlook Handbook, OOH 2010-2011). You can also check: http://www.bls.gov/oes/2008/may/oes_alph.htm for an alphabetical list of careers.
Other good sites are:
http://www.usnews.com, http://www.princetonreview.com/careers-after-college.aspx www.jobbankinfo.org/ (Explore Careers, Browse Occupations, Salary Information) www.careerbuilder.com/ careerpath.com/defaultb.asp www.monster.com/.
The Word Document - with a brief description of your careers and with information on the Average Annual Salary and an Estimate on the number of jobs available for that profession in the United States (or locally, if you prefer to select a particular city or state) - is due: March 10, 2010. Please: no more than three pages long.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Mrs. Feld.
