BLS

Is the BLS.gov a good resource to give studnets about job placement in different career areas?

Marilyn,

When we provide the students a reliable resource, it provides them a resource they will use beyond their time with your institution. BLS is very reliable.

I rely on it alot to give the students the answers to alot of their questions. Its really helped me alot when I want to enroll a potential student that has alot of questions and seems unsure.

Bridget,

I suggest that you provide them as many reputable avenues to do the research on their own as possible. You're providing them the opportunity to continue to search and determine their own path.

Is it a good idea to use both the BLS and also your own career development data or just stick to one?

Marie,
BLS is a great source. The ties into the federal government and the student can research on their own.

Patty Aronoff

Yes, it is a good idea to give BLS as a resource to students about job placement because BLS can help in many ways such as careers that relate to your interests, learn fun facts about economy, and jobs.

Jeff,
Absolutely! BLS is the most referenced resource when it comes to job information. It is put out by the federal government and gives a very good overview of different careers.
