RECOMMENDATIONS
Occupations have been divided into twelve Interest Areas as described in the Guide for Occupational
Exploration (GOE) and elsewhere. The Guide for Occupational Exploration further subdivides the
Interest Areas into Work Groups, based upon aptitude score requirements. Occupations that belong to
the same Work Group require similar interests and similar aptitudes.
Reported below are career directions that match your aptitudes as well as your 3 strongest interest
areas. When you see a symbol next to a GOE Work Group number and name it means you can be
more confident that your aptitude scores qualify you for that Work Group. Review your CareerScope
recommendations and score results with a career guidance and counseling professional to learn about
the Work Groups that best match your assessment results.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The U.S. Department of Labor's electronic occupational information database is called O*NET. O*NET
includes descriptions of occupational units and also reports worker characteristics that are related to
successful employment and job satisfaction. O*NET can be found on the worldwide web at http:
//online.onetcenter.org.
This report includes Occupational Unit Titles and OU Numbers from the O*NET 15.0 database that are
related to your current CareerScope interest and aptitude profile. Each occupational unit title and
number is associated with a group of related occupations. Occupational units are nested beneath
their respective major group title and definition. The Educational Job Zone column reports the
educational requirement rating for the occupational unit. Here are the Job Zone definitions:
Definition
Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3
Zone 4
Zone 5
When you see a l symbol next to an occupational unit title it means there is a higher probability that
your aptitude profile meets employment and training standards for that group of related occupations.
Visit the O*NET web-site and gather information about the occupational units that are listed in this
report. Review your CareerScope recommendations and score results with your counselor to learn more
about the careers that best match your assessment results.
O*NET TM 15.0 is a trademark of the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The world of work has been divided into Interest Areas. These areas are further divided into Work Groups based upon aptitude requirements. 59 Work
Groups are listed in the table below. When a number appears in the I column, it means the Work Group falls within one of your significant interest
areas (1 = most preferred). When a symbol appears in the A column, it means that your aptitude scores qualify you for that Work Group. (You can
be even more confident that you qualify for a Work Group when it is marked with a symbol.)
