Other Helpful Career Search Tools

Zane State College uses The Occupational Information Network, or O*NET, for career resources. O*NET is developed under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration. This database is collected and updated through ongoing surveys of workers in each occupation supplemented, in some cases, by occupation experts.

The O*NET Interest Profiler is an online career assessment which matches the user's interests, preferred work environment, and level of work experience to matching careers.
