Career Voyages has lots of information to help you learn about:

  • different types of careers,
  • knowledge and skills you must have to enter these careers and,
  • information about education and training opportunities to help you prepare for your chosen career.

Career Voyages exists to help you find out which occupations are in-demand. To learn more about how these industries and occupations were selected, click here. This web site identifies those high demand occupations-many of which do not require years and years of schooling. In fact, there are lots of alternatives to a 4-year degree, including 2-year degrees, apprenticeships, vocational certificates, and work experience.
