 Leave no road unexplored. Preparation, persistence, and enthusiasm are important to finding a job. Education and training also play a vital role. Remember:
If you're still in school, the first step is to complete a good course of study. It should give you the knowledge and skills needed to get started. It should also get you ready for any future education you might pursue.
How Do I Get Started?
- If you're in high school, learn about Career Clusters. They might help you determine the best course of study.
- If you're currently in a community college or four-year college, you will want to know what knowledge, skills, and abilities are in demand with employers. Choose any of our featured industries on the left side of your screen. Then choose an occupation from the list. You can then learn what is required for that occupation as well as the employment and wage trends in most states.
