Career Resources



Volunteer tutors can use this tool to help their students select careers. A tutor could use the articles to kickoff a language experience story (LES).  This can be used with low level learners and with English Lanugage Learners.

Each volume covers a career cluster and its common career pathways. Job profiles cover the following: job facts; nature of work; work environment; education; licenses; certification and training; job outlook; similar occupations; and sources of additional information, such as books, audio/visual materials and organizations.

GVRL is a database of encyclopedias, and specialized reference sources, for multidisciplinary research. Your patrons can access these reference materials online from the library, or remotely through the FEL.
