Don't know what work you want to do?


Are you looking for a first job or changing occupations? To begin, you should do some self exploration. What do you like? What do you dislike? Knowing yourself, your strengths and weaknesses and your dreams will help you to develop a list of occupations that are of interest to you. Once you have this list, you can start to do some research to see if any of these jobs are right for you.
To get a better understanding of an occupation, check out the Job Descriptions and Job and Skill Requirements sections. You will find information regarding the educational requirements and the main duties for the job.

You can research the Employment Prospects for various occupations to determine if they have good employment potential.

The wage or salary is an important factor to consider when researching occupations, so check out the Wages & Salaries section. This will give you an idea of the income workers receive for a specific job.

Find out what is happening in local areas that interest you, by reading our Labour Market Bulletin, which can be found in the About the Local Labour Market section. This information will provide you with the latest news on local industries and occupations.
