Explore occupations

Lawyer, teacher, doctor, nurse. How many occupations can you name? What the heck does an occupational therapist do anyway? How about a valuator, conservator, arborist or orthoptist?

Good career decisions require good information—about your personal traits and preferences and about the world of work. Career Consultants can get you started by helping you to identify and articulate your skills, aptitudes, values, personality traits and interests as they relate to career choice.

Information about the world of work is everywhere—not just in libraries and career centres. Even television shows can influence your views of specific occupations. Government departments, sector councils and professional associations publish great labour market information. Personal contacts are extremely valuable, often providing "up-close and personal" views of occupations. Mentoring and job shadowing programs can help you develop professional networks. Don't forget to speak with teachers, professors, friends and relatives!

We've provided information on approximately two hundred occupational options. Thousands more exist! Be creative. Remember—good research can lead to more informed and satisfying career decisions!
