Career Outlook Project

Welcome! The Career Outlook Project is an online collection of interviews with professionals in a variety of career fields. The interview asks people about their career field, the education and training they had to get started in the field, and skills needed for success. The "Career Outlook Interview" is an online questionnaire that can be completed in about 5-10 minutes.

Anyone is welcome to participate in this project. The project is designed to support students and others who are exploring careers in school, after-school programs, scout groups, individually, etc. You can contribute an online interview, browse through the completed interviews, or print out any of the pages on this website for your own career exploration projects.
