Career Transitions employs a simple, step-by-step approach to help people:

1) explore new career possibilities
2) assess their interests and experience
3) identify ways to improve their prospects, including networking and educational opportunities
4) prepare for a job search
5) search and apply for jobs

Users can easily discover and target fast-growing careers and industries in their immediate locations -- and locations across the United States. Career Transitions also features quick assessments to help people identify new opportunities based on their current skills, occupational knowledge, and interests.

Career Transitions users have the opportunity to create a personal profile and use a Career Toolkit to build and save resumes, cover letters, and references. They can return to their profile in their library--or remotely--to track and update their progress in job searching, career exploration, and education planning. Information on networking and other job-search tactics, as well as the opportunity to take low-fee distance learning courses, will help users improve their employment prospects. Local information on unemployment benefits, health benefits, and other social services is available, too.
