R&P Releases 2006 Edition of Wyoming Career Explorer

Research & Planning’s popular Wyoming Career Explorer is newly updated and available online at http://doe.state.wy.us/LMI/explorer2006.pdf, in pdf format. The publication is geared toward high school students and is intended to help them make informed career decisions.

The Explorer shows the typical wages and job descriptions for nearly 200 occupations. A checklist shows students how to highlight the specific skills they already possess that may be valuable in several fields, not just one job.

The Explorer can help students land their first job with tips on writing resumes, interviewing for jobs, and gaining experience.

Also included is information on state and federal labor laws, worker rights, and staying safe in the workplace.
