Is this a total career education curriculum? No. U.S. Work World is designed to enhance and supplement whatever career education program exists at your school.

When are job projections updated? The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, releases future job projections every two years. The next release of job projections is scheduled for February, 2012. After the projections are released, the U.S. Work World job projection lessons are updated to reflect the new information. |
