Find out which occupations are the right fit for your personality, interests, abilities and skills.
OSCAR (Occupation and Skill Computer-assisted Researcher) was designed for youth; however, many adults will also find this tool easy to use and accurate.
O Net (Occupational Network) is a Department of Labor product. It allows you to find out more about occupations, and offers skills assessment. A great tool for dislocated workers or others looking a different occupation, this site allows you to crosswalk your current job skills to new occupations.
