After self-assessment, the next step in the career-planning process is to locate information about careers of interest. Because careers are rapidly changing, it is important to locate current sources of information. Many sources are available, such as SOICC's Products and Services, including publications, videos, and Internet resources. Friends, family, teachers, co-workers, and others are also good sources of career information.

When researching career information, learn as much as you can about:

• Job descriptions and requirements

• Salary and working conditions

• Education and training requirements

• The labor market, including demographics, industrial and occupational trends

Below are some links for you to explore so you can start planning your career.
