𝐎*𝐍𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 The O*NET® team has designed a set of self-directed career exploration/assessment tools to help workers consider and plan career options, preparation, and transitions more effectively. They also are designed for use by students who are exploring the school-to-work transition. The assessment instruments, which are based on a "whole-person" concept, are grouped into two major families: - 𝗢*𝗡𝗘𝗧 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 - 𝗢*𝗡𝗘𝗧 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 These instruments will help individuals identify their work-related interests and what they consider important on the job to explore occupations that relate most closely to those attributes. Users of the tools may link to the more than 950 occupations described by the O*NET database, as well as to occupational information in CareerOneStop. This allows individuals to make a seamless transition from assessing their interests and work values to matching their job skills with the requirements of occupations in their local labor market.

A survey of unemployed workers done by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce found that roughly half (49%) of American workers are not willing to take jobs that do not offer the opportunity for remote work. Almost a quarter (24%) say government aid packages during the pandemic have incentivized them to not actively look for work, and more than a quarter (26%) say it will never again be essential for them to return to work.

𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀: What they are and how to get started! If you don't have a vision and you're struggling to pinpoint what you want in life and where you want to go, it can be difficult to get traction. Without a clear vision, it's hard to direct your efforts in ways that serve your goals. It's also hard to attract the support and resources you need. That's where a vision board comes in. Vision boards are a collection of images or objects arranged in a way to help you manifest your goals or vision. It can be physical or digital. They're perfect for helping you envision your dream life. But you can also use a vision board to outline your professional goals. People who use vision boards usually place them where they'll see them often. Creating a vision board can be fun and easy, you don't need to overthink the process.
