Virginia's Matches |
Here are the list of careers our system has matched Virginia with based on her career interests, values, and intelligence types. Make sure to take note of two things:
Recommended Careers: If, based on Virginia's personality, values, interests, and intelligence types, she is matched with a career in which she is underqualified (her current education is not sufficient to fit the job requirements), you will see a red graduation cap below the graphs. If she is overqualified (her education is above and beyond what is needed for the job), you will see a yellow graduation cap. A green graduation cap will appear if Virginia has the needed education level (e.g. Bachelor), but her degree must be relevant to the field. If this isn't the case, in order to meet the requirements for the job, she will need to attain a degree in one of the areas that will be listed.
Education Percentages: In the description for each job, you will see a graph under the Education title, followed by a percentage, and a type of degree. The percentages indicate the number of people in that particular job that possess the listed degree (i.e. a degree that is relevant to the field). This is important information. If Virginia is interested in a job in which most people possess a higher degree than she does, it may be more difficult for her to "get her foot in the door." In such cases, she should consider whether obtaining a higher education would be in her best interest.
Classification of Instructional (CIP) Codes: The purpose of the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) is to provide a taxonomic scheme that will support the accurate tracking, assessment, and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity. CIP was developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). In the CIP section of each job, you will notice a number of CIP courses and their corresponding codes. This will help Virginia if and when she decides to apply to US Universities or Colleges for that particular career. Note that the CIP codes are used in the US, and will be different for other countries if used at all.
