Early Childhood Career Opportunities

Part 2: Research

Next, learn more about the profession you have chosen at the following Web site:

U.S. Department of Labor: Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook
http://www.bls.gov/ooh/home.htm

Use this Web site by either typing the profession of your choice in the “Search” window or by clicking on the category closest to your choice in the list that begins with “Child care workers.” Once you have selected one of these categories, scroll down to review all of the information. (Generally, the information is pertinent to most occupations in a specific category. However, the “Earnings” section at the bottom of the page provides specifics as well as links to information on related careers.)

Part 3: Share and Learn

Finally, share your Career Profile with your colleagues in this course by posting your completed Career Profile in the Doc Sharing area (located at the top of the classroom). Save your Career Profile as CP+last name+your first initial. Post your Career Profile to the Doc Sharing area by Day 7 of Week 8.

Then, review at least two Career Profiles posted by your colleagues.
