USDOL Launches New Web-Based Occupational Information Tool
The U.S. Department of Labor launched My Next Move, a web-based tool aimed at providing jobseekers with information on more than 900 occupations, as well as local job openings and training opportunities in a simple, user-friendly format.
Users can also search for jobs in three categories: careers with a “bright outlook” in growing industries, jobs that are part of the “green” economy and occupations that have a Registered Apprenticeship program.
Each occupation that a user selects has an easy-to-read, one-page profile, including information about what knowledge, skills, and abilities are needed; the occupation’s outlook; the level of education required; technologies used within the occupation; and other, similar jobs. In addition, each occupation page includes direct links to local salary information, training opportunities, and relevant job openings.
