Young Person's Occupational Outlook Handbook Activities
This Activities book is an inexpensive, interactive, and
convenient way to add career awareness and career exploration to
your middle- or junior-high school curriculum. The activities
are designed to be used with the Young
Person’s Occupational Outlook Handbook. The
Activities book is for individual student use in class or as
homework. It helps young people interact with the Young Person’s
Occupational Outlook Handbook information on over 270 jobs,
including work duties, skills needed, required education,
related school classes, related jobs, earnings, and more. In
addition, students learn how to set goals, research careers
using a reference book and the Internet, and read a help-wanted
ad. They also are introduced to job interviews.
Many but not all of the activities require students to
consult the Young Person’s Occupational Outlook Handbook. In
addition, students can begin some activities by looking up
information in the Young Person’s Occupational Outlook Handbook
and then finish them without the book in hand.
The Activities book meets National Career Development
Guidelines for middle/junior high school competencies IV, V, VI,
and VII. Specifically, it helps young people learn the benefits
of educational achievement to career opportunities (IV),
understand the relationship between work and learning (V),
develop the skills to locate and use career information (VI),
and learn about the skills necessary to obtain jobs (VII).
