Find these words
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the Occupational OUTLOOK Handbook, a free guide that lists pay, training and expected job growth for hundreds of careers. It is where many school career units start. This word find follows the steps that come after it: matching INTERESTS and APTITUDE, trying a job through SHADOWING or an INTERNSHIP, then choosing a PATHWAY through COLLEGE or the TRADES. Career day and individual career fields have their own grids on the site.
