CCPA 1301: Career Resources: Explore Jobs

A guide for Dr. Duhe's class, Fall 2025.

Explore Career Fields

Don't search for one specific job opening here. Instead, explore descriptions of careers in different fields, and see what looks appealing. Look especially for data such as: 

  • Average salary
  • Entry-level education needed
  • Expected job growth rate
  • Typical working conditions and environment

Explore Industries

Don't search for a specific job here, but rather the industry that you might work within -- for example, PR specialists might work within healthcare facilities like hospitals or nursing homes, energy industries such as oil & gas or solar, or educational institutions such as schools or museums. Those jobs might be quite different! What are the unique challenges, new opportunities, and typical working conditions in each?

Discover Advanced Training

Polish your skills on tools such as Microsoft Office, Adobe suite, Canva, or more. Develop capacities in in-demand skills like coding languages, writing for the web, networking like a pro, photo or video editing, or more. YouTube is also excellent for skills tutorials. 

Search for Jobs

Search for job openings that seem interesting to you. Note what they require for things like educational degree, work experience, or soft skills. What can you do now that helps to prepare you for this type of job when you graduate in a few years?
