Arts, Media and
RAISE TH E C U RTAI N
The Arts, Media, and Entertainment industry sector is big business in California. It offers jobs that
require a vast range of creative and technical knowledge and skills. Emerging out of recession and into
recovery, the outlook forecasts that global entertainment and media spending is expected to rise from
$1.4 trillion in 2010 to $1.9 trillion by 2015, growing at an annual rate of 5.7%. Read more at http://
www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/92662/pwc-outlook-digital-is-driving-entertainmentand-m#ixzz2XPJyxq5D. The industry offers jobs that require a vast range of creative and technical
knowledge and skills – almost sure to fit your talents and passion. The industry represents 11%
of the economic base in California, according to an analysis of the labor market conducted by the
Employment Development Department in June 2012. Flexibility and adaptability to a rapidly changing
professional landscape are key elements to an individual’s ultimate success in a career in arts, media,
and entertainment.
Film, Television and Video
Creative and expressive, a communicator with a vision – you’re full of ideas, love
working with a team and using the latest technology as your tool. Television
production has always been an exciting and fast-paced field for the creative
and energetic, but innovations in computer and broadband technologies have
produced an explosion of opportunity in this dynamic field.
Commercial Music
Do you enjoy making music or the excitement of performing on stage? Do
you find yourself tapping your feet to the beat of whatever music you hear?
If there isn’t a song playing on your iPod, there’s always one playing in your
head. You find music in everything, even the sounds of nature or the rhythm
of a jackhammer tearing up the street. Whether you’re mixing it up on stage
or recording and mixing it down in the studio, in front of an audience or
behind the scenes, the field of commercial music is highly competitive and it
requires talent, teamwork, and dedication to find success.

N ON A NEW CAREER
Applied Digital Media
Artistic and computer savvy, you are already imagining ways you would
lay out this page differently. Whether you were putting your talents to use
on the school yearbook or on your family’s annual holiday letter, you’ve
always had an “eye” for creating something that is visually appealing.
Computer hardware and software will be important tools in your work, as will
teamwork and excellent communication skills. You’ll learn to use color, type,
illustration, photography, animation, and various print and layout techniques
to effectively capture your viewers’ attention.
Photography
You never go anywhere without your camera. Everything you see is a photo waiting
to be captured. Images are everywhere; major events and sunny days are not the
only times to use one’s photographic skills. Photographers produce and preserve
images by painting a picture, telling a story, or recording an event. Photography
requires both technical skill and expertise combined with artistic creativity.

Affirmation Theory
Affirmation theory is the idea that frequently
men attribute
success and failure
women and
differently.
A woman who fails a test tends to think that she is bad at the subject or that she is stupid —
that it’s about her.
A man tends to think that the test was unfair or the teacher didn’t cover that material —
that it’s about something else.
A woman who aces a test tends to think it was luck, or the teacher, or an easy test —
that it is not about her effort and intelligence.
A man, however, will think, “Yeah, I am just that good!”
None of this is true — the effort you put into learning the material is directly related
to the results you attain. Study more and you will earn better grades.
(Helpful Hint: Study in a group and you’ll get better grades too.)

Building and Construction
BUILD A GREAT CAREER
Go Green! California was the first state to enact a Green Building Code, and it’s the home of numerous
local governments that have mandated green standards for new construction. Training in green building
and construction jobs is crucial if the state is to make the most of the current potential for economic
growth and increased sustainability. During the recent recession, the green building market grew
50%, this was at a time when most businesses were in decline. Along with a growth in green building,
construction and its related industries are seeing an increase in retirements, which will result in continued
employment growth.
Women can gain access to a range of high-paying jobs that also offer the reward of tangible and
immediate impact on environmental quality in this industry. Visit http://www.tradeswomen.org/ for
more information about opportunities for women in the trades!
Construction
Air Conditioning
To you, details make a difference. Perhaps you
are concerned with how things are made and how
to improve the energy efficiency in homes and
buildings. The Construction Technology program
prepares individuals with the technical knowledge
and skills in the area of building construction.
This includes instruction on blueprint reading,
materials, International Building Codes and
Ordinances, plumbing, electrical and mechanical
codes, and energy conservation.
You love taking things apart and putting them
back together. Knowing how machines operate
and solving puzzles is important to you. Air
conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing, and
electrical professions are about improving our
lives. Our world could not function without the
talents and skills of the technicians who install
and service equipment making our daily life
more comfortable. Homes, office buildings,
malls, supermarkets, and facilities all rely on air
conditioning, refrigeration, and electrical and
plumbing systems to create and maintain a safe,
healthy, and comfortable environment.

MYTH BUSTING
Sometimes in American society we hear that “girls and women
can’t” and “boys and men aren’t.” Women can’t do math
and men aren’t nurturing. Women can’t lift heavy things and
men aren’t preschool teachers. There are many reasons to
rethink these beliefs! There are studies and data that show
that businesses are stronger when they have a mix of men
and women as well as employees of all races. We all have
different ideas and abilities and if we are all working together,
it strengthens the product! From construction to engineering
– women and men are amazing! From daycare to nursing –
men and women excel!

Human Services
You listen and communicate effectively. Your desire to help others is
something that comes naturally. If you envision a future where you
can grow and develop professionally in a field that lets you play an
instrumental role in the community, then a career in Human Services
provides the perfect setting where your energy and passion for
helping will be valued.
Sign Language Interpreting
You are an expressive person. You enjoy communicating with others. You enjoy learning
other languages and enjoy exploring different cultures. Interpreters enable the crosscultural communication necessary in today’s society by converting a spoken language
into sign language. These language specialists do more than translate words. They relay
concepts and ideas between modes of communication.

YOU CAN LEARN HOW TO TEACH
Community Interpretation
You speak English and Spanish fluently. Disciplined and quick thinking, you believe you can bridge the
gap between English and Spanish speakers. Interpreters are the keys that unlock the door to
understanding between people in a variety of settings, situations, and circumstances.
Early Childhood Education
You’re a take-charge kind of person. You like to learn and share this knowledge with
others. You are organized and dependable. You like to be around children and are
concerned about future generations. Early childhood educators do the important work
of nurturing and educating children during their most formative years. They work to
stimulate children’s curiosity and imagination by providing them opportunities
to learn through play experiences and to question, observe, investigate, and
experiment. They consult with parents, administrators, and child
development specialists.

THE BLUEPRINT FOR A GREAT CAREER
Most STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math) fields are dominated by men. That makes these fields an
excellent career choice for women! Careers in STEM fields are on the rise and industry can’t keep up with the demand.
Women excel in this career field. So girls, before you think it’s not for you, check out: http://forgirlsinscience.org/
women-in-stem/. Guys, you already know you’re welcome, but did you know how much you are needed? The sky’s
the limit and possibilities and paychecks are endless. The National Association of Colleges and Employers reports
that engineers have a consistently high salary and out of the top ten highest paying careers, seven are in engineering.
Architecture, Drafting and Engineering
Solving 3-D puzzles is a piece of cake for you. You can draw the layout of any space your mind imagines. Your
imagination and ability to visualize spatial orientation can take you to the next level in drafting technology,
engineering technology, and architecture. You’ll use computer-aided drafting and design (CAD), in careers that are in
demand to prepare detailed drawings of a variety of structures from houses and buildings to highways and bridges, all
according to detailed specifications.
Electronics
You like gadgets and electronic devices. You enjoy working out practical problems and solutions. You have a great
deal of patience. You pay attention to the small details. Electronics technology is essential to the development,
manufacture, modification, and maintenance of a wide range of products and equipment. It requires layout, building,
testing, troubleshooting, repairing, and modifying the development and production of electronic components,
parts, equipment, and systems. You can find electronic engineering technicians working on anything from computer
equipment, to missile control systems, to test equipment, even machine numerical controls.

rchitecture
“If we’re going to out-innovate and out-educate the rest
of the world, we’ve got to open doors for everyone. We
need all hands on deck, and that means clearing hurdles
for women and girls as they navigate careers in science,
technology, engineering, and math.”
-- First Lady Michelle Obama, September 26, 2011

stereotype threat.
Claude Steele in his book, Whistling Vivaldi, defines Stereotype Threat as “the idea that students who
belong to a stereotyped group are at risk of confirming, as self-characteristic, a negative stereotype
about one’s group.” When a woman who is aware of the stereotype that “women can’t do math”
takes a math test and the first thing she’s asked is her name and gender (typical on a standardized
test), the stereotype is brought to mind and a host of issues may come into play. Rather than focusing
on the material in front of her, she may be distracted or have narrowed attention, she may feel anxious
or self-conscious, or she may withdraw effort or expend too much effort.
Stereotype threat affects women in relation to men, blacks in relation to whites,
whites in relation to Asians, etc. Any time a person identifies as a member of a
stereotyped group their performance may suffer. This effect is seen more often
on tests that are important for the test taker.
Studies have shown that when a stereotyped student hears – directly or indirectly through micromessages — that they are not as capable at a skill perceived to be necessary for a career, they will
not even try to participate. This holds true for students of color, older students, single parents,
women, low income students, etc. It’s true in the classroom or on the basketball court, and it’s true
at work too. Whenever a student is aware of a stereotype, they can be affected by it. Generally, the
stereotype is not true! Women can do high-level science, blondes aren’t dumb, and not all Asians are
math whizzes. However, when we believe things that are depicted in our home culture, pop culture,
or mass media, we limit our career options.
So what can YOU do about it?
When you go into a situation that is high-stress and high-stakes, remember to:
• Deemphasize your threatened social identity by remembering that you are not only a woman, you’re also a good student, a strong leader, a capable scientist, etc.
• Give yourself affirmations: “I studied hard, I took good notes all semester, I have practiced all year for this, etc.”
• Emphasize high standards with assurances of your capability: “I am going to do my best and I know I can get a good grade on this exam, etc.”
• Think about role models who are good at this task subject: Condoleezza Rice, Sally Ride, Barak Obama.
• Recognize that some tests and tasks are difficult but if you put in the effort, you will succeed!
• Know that you are not born with a certain amount of ability. The more effort you put into something, the more you are able to succeed!

Entrepreneurship
You opened your first savings account with
profits from your lemonade stand. While
others are thinking about where they’ll find
their first job, you’re already designing your
next business venture. Entrepreneurs play a key
role in any economy. These are the people who
have the skills and initiative necessary to take good
new ideas to market and make the right decisions
to make the idea profitable. The reward for the risks
taken is the potential economic profits the entrepreneur
could earn.
Banking and Finance
You are a detail oriented person who likes working with numbers.
You like having rules, but you also like being able to take risks. An
expressive communicator and an understanding listener, you are
sensitive to the problems of others. In banking and finance you
will find yourself answering customers’ questions and explaining
available services such as deposit accounts, bonds, and securities.
Human Resources
You have a desire to implement changes to make
the world a better place. You have a natural
ability to cooperatively work with and teach
others. One function of human resources is to
implement programs dealing with productivity
improvement and total quality management.
Human resources professionals provide
specialized services and their goal is to
foster positive relationships to increase job
satisfaction while meeting customer and
client needs.

nce and Business
WANT A CAREER YOU CAN BANK ON?
The Business and Finance industry sector, a vital contributor to the U.S. economy, employs more than 6,000,000 people in
related occupations. In all areas of this sector, advances in technology and trends toward direct marketing provide for many
fast growing career opportunities. For example, employment of accountants and auditors is expected to grow at a rate about
equal to the average for all other occupations, and career opportunities in banking are expected to increase at a greater rate
than normal as a result of the expansion of banking and investment institutions. Because of market globalization and an
increasing demand for investment advice, employment in financial management will also continue to grow.
Computer Applications and Office Technology
You are organized and efficient. There is no computer application that you are not able to master. As
reliance on technology continues to expand in offices, the role of the office professional has greatly
evolved. Office automation and organizational reform led office professionals to assume tasks once
reserved for managerial and professional staff.
Accounting
You pay attention to detail and are thorough in completing tasks. You enjoy investigating facts. You
like working with numbers and data. You stretch your brain to develop great ideas and solutions.
Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks are an organization’s financial recordkeepers. If you choose
a career in accounting, you will be checking figures, postings and documents for correct entry, complying
with federal and state laws and company policies, and summarizing numerical and financial data to
compile and keep financial records using journals, ledgers and computers.
Business Management
You are reliable and responsible. You are a self-motivated person. Business managers plan, direct, and
coordinate the operations of public and private organizations. Business management involves everything
from how technology can improve efficiency to the best way of using a team. For example, business
managers formulate policies, manage daily operations, and plan material usage and human resources.
International Business
You appreciate other cultures and customs. You like to meet people from faraway places. You may have
purchased something in pounds or pesos. Business is a legal organization designed to sell goods and/or
services to consumers or other businesses in an effort to generate profits. International business is one
with interests in other countries. These businesses are often called multinational corporations. This career
includes working with cultural considerations, such as law and the legal system, economics, political
policy, marketing, language, living standards, cultural traditions, etc.
Logistics Management
You are the leader of the pack. You enjoy challenges. You have a natural ability to analyze a situation
and make executive decisions. You are dependable and organized. Logistics is the art of managing and
controlling the flow of goods, information, and other resources, like energy, between a producer and
consumer. It involves combining information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling,
and packaging. Logisticians are responsible for the entire lifecycle of a product, including acquisition,
distribution, internal allocation, delivery, and, finally, disposal of resources.

GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT
Before making an educational investment in a career and technical education training program, students should
have a general idea about how much the program will cost and what careers the program prepares for. Every
certificate program greater than 18 units must disclose this information to consumers. It is called Gainful
Employment Disclosure. Below is a link to gainful employment disclosures.
Moreno Valley College: http://www.mvc.edu/academicdepts/hhps/
Norco College: http://www.norcocollege.edu/cte/Pages/CTE-Programs.aspx
Riverside City College: http://academic.rcc.edu/gainfulemployment/
Here are the top three things students might find useful on the gainful employment disclosure:
1. Find the estimated costs for the program, including tuition, fees, books, and supplies.
2. Links to O*Net Online (http://www.onetonline.org), a national clearinghouse that provides information about
specific occupations, like average wages and employment projections. It also contains a wealth of other job
specific information like: typical tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities, just to name a few, on the O*Net site. The
database is organized by Standard Occupational Codes (SOC) and nearly every possible occupation is classified.
3.
Compare a program at one college to a program at another college, even when they don’t have the same exact
name, by using the Classification of Instructional Program (CIP). The CIP code is an identification code used by
colleges throughout the nation.
Our colleges provide employment services for students who
are currently enrolled and for CTE program graduates. For
student employment opportunities on campus, contact the
Student Employment Office. Students needing assistance in
obtaining an off-campus job or internship, especially after
graduation, should meet one-on-one with a CTE Employment
Placement Coordinator. There is a CTE Job Placement office at
each college that provides a full range of job search assistance,
including referrals to employers with job vacancies. Also,
be sure to like us on Facebook at fb.com/rccdCTE to receive
updates about employment opportunities.

Norco: 951-372-7086
Riverside: 951-222-8486
Moreno Valley, Norco, and Riverside

STEP TWO: SKILLS & PASSIONS
STEP ONE: MONEY
OK,
so you’re going to college. . .congratulations! What are you going to study? What
do you want to spend 80,000 hours doing? What are your passions? What
are you good at? Are there training opportunities at Moreno Valley College,
Norco College, or Riverside City College? Moreover, how much money
do you need to earn to support yourself and your family?
First things first, let’s find out how much money you’ll need to support
your family in your neighborhood. Two scenarios:
1. Your pretend family: Let’s say you have a family of five--three kids
and two adults (you and your partner).
2. Your actual family: If you have a family, you know how many
kids and adults.
Now, with your family in mind, visit http:www.insightcced.org/
calculator.html. Enter the number of adults in your family (1
if you are single and 2 if you are in a relationship) and the
number of children you have (or want to have). If you’re using
your “pretend,” family say your kids are young because
that is when they cost the most--childcare is expensive.
For example, in Riverside County, in your pretend family
of five, each adult needs to earn $20.42 per hour to be
comfortable and safe. A single parent with two children,
one school-age and the other a teenager, needs to earn
about $44,000 a year, or $21 per hour.
1.
Thing
LOV
2.
Remember, seldom do you earn your degree and get
a job making more than a starting salary. And don’t
spend time and money earning a degree or certificate
in a field that will never pay you enough to support your
family!
“Do what you love. You’ll be better at it.”
- Francis Ford Coppola
Does your career choice line up with your skills
and passions? Ok, now you know you need
to be able to work up to at least $21 per hour.
Next, go learn about yourself. Do some career
exploration--taking an interest inventory or
skills test is a good start. Find the intersection
between what you love to do and what you can be
paid to do. Visit websites to get some good ideas.
Remember, this is about the next 80,000 hours of
your life and your family’s security--don’t skip this
step! Take a few tests to come up with 6-8 careers
that sound interesting to you and for which you have
or can acquire the required skills. Don’t worry about
what you already know; you’re going to college to learn
more. Think about what you like. Do you like working
with your hands? Working outside? Working alone or in
groups? Are you a leader or a follower? Do you see the
big picture or do you prefer to focus on the details? Go
to http://explorecte.com/career-investigation to get
started on your career investigation.

5.
Now, make a plan.
Apply at one of Riverside Community
College District’s three colleges. Fill out a Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
online at https://fafsa.ed.gov/index.htm.
Beware of websites that try to charge you - the
application is free! Get daycare lined up… and
backup daycare… and a backup to the backup.
Find a bus route. Go to your college orientation.
Finally, now that you think you know what
you want to do, make an appointment to see a
counselor. Show them the steps you took to make
your plan. Ask for input. Are there other steps you
need to take? Get cracking - it’s YOUR life!
If you have any doubt about a career choice, pause
and spend some time thinking about all the steps
that should go into deciding on a career: 80,000+
hours is a long time doing something that doesn’t
pay enough or that you don’t enjoy!
Did you know?
STEP FOUR: PLAN
to do!
6.
Go through all the careers on your list and make
sure that a) there is training at Moreno Valley
College, Norco College or Riverside City College,
b) it pays enough, and c) there will be a job
market when you graduate! If a career does not
fulfill both b and c (wages and jobs), cross it off
your list! Get a degree in a career that will pay
you enough to support you and your family and
where there will be jobs!
STEP THREE: JOBS
Do the careers you’ve identified meet your salary
requirements and will there be a job when you finish school?
So, you know how much you need to earn and you have a
list of six to eight jobs that align with your skills, abilities,
and interests. Now find careers where you can get hired
AND earn a good income. You need to have an idea of
what careers are likely to have job openings in Riverside
County when you finish your degree or certificate. Is
manufacturing or logistics going to continue to grow?
Will they be building lots of new homes in two years?
Will there still be a need for new nurses? Visit the
following websites to do some research:
• Dental Hygienists can earn $95,000/year, there is training at Moreno Valley College,
and between 2010 an d 2020 employment is expected to increase by 20%?
• Paralegals earn approximately $57,000/year, there is training at Riverside City
College, and the industry will grow by 17%?
• Web Developers earn $69,000/year, on average, Norco College has Web and Game
Development programs, and the industry is expected to have 52,000 jobs in
California by 2020?

There are two types of micro-messages:
1.Micro-inequities are negative messages that occur when people seem different. They are discouraging and can have a negative impact on performance at school and at work.
2. Micro-affirmations are positive messages that make people feel welcome and valued. They can improve a person’s schoolwork or their efforts on the job.
At times, you may be completely unaware of the actual message sent by your teachers, peers,
counselors, or family. Additionally, the message you see or hear can be very different from
the message intended. How you interpret a message is as important as or more important
than the intended message! Micro-inequities are a double whammy: first, they make you feel
unwelcome and then, because you feel unwelcome, you stop putting out your best effort.
MICRO-MESSAGES
are the small ways people communicate. Micro-messages tend to be unconscious
and unintentional but frequently show a person’s true feelings. Micro-messages
are also the way people get feedback from others. Because the impact and
consequences of constant exposure to micro-messages are frequently
unrecognized, micro-messages can be harmful or helpful.
What do micro-messages look like?
Micro-Affirmations
• Nodding of the head while someone is speaking or
answering a question
• Maintaining eye contact, being polite
• Asking probing or encouraging questions or
providing full explanations
• Paying attention when someone is speaking (active
listening)
• Offering tutoring, mentoring, introductions, etc.
• Giving accolades in public or giving awards
VS
So What?
Micro-messages can
help you succeed in
you educational path
and career or they can
push you into or out of
a training program that
really interests you.
Micro-Inequities
• Turning away or crossing of the arms
• Not making eye contact
• Interrupting
• Curt answers or short explanations
• Not introducing someone in a group
• Gender and demographically stereotypical pictures
on the walls – exclusively
• No leadership opportunities
What can you do about it?
INTO
OR
OUT OF
Be aware of the messages you send, as well as the
messages you are receiving from others. THINK.
Did the counselor ask you questions that help you
identify your true passions, career goals, and interests?
Did you get information about all careers– not just the
ones typically good for girls, or Hispanic men, or….?
Don’t let them determine your future.
Recognize the messages and make
strides to stop them from stopping you!
What did your teacher mean by his response?

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) careers involve the design, development,
support, and management of hardware, software, multimedia, and systems integration services.
The ICT industry offers a dynamic and entrepreneurial working environment that has had a
revolutionary impact on the economy and on society. ICT careers are available not only in
the ICT industry but also in every other sector of the economy, from Agriculture and Natural
Resources to Transportation. Employment for ICT support specialists is expected to grow 18%
from 2010 to 2020 as organizations continue to adopt and integrate increasingly sophisticated
technology. The ICT sector contains some of the fastest growing industries, such as mobile
applications, network security, and game design and development. Check out

Computer Information Systems
You like to analyze information and use logic to address issues. You are persistent and ready
to face any obstacle coming your way. You are detail oriented and complete all assigned tasks.
The explosive impact of computers and information technology on our everyday lives has
generated a need to design and develop new computer systems and incorporate technologies
into a rapidly growing range of applications. Computer application engineers apply the
principles and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to
design, develop, test, and evaluate software and systems.

you could ride a bike. Simulation and
video game development is about creating
characters and developing the problems
they face in an artistic story format. You
will develop characters and establish
how they will react in various situations
and special environments, including
components driving the characters
through the story. You will use artistry
in a range of techniques from handdrawn figures to 3D animated models.

Manufacturing and Product Development
NEED A GREAT CAREER PLAN? PUT ONE TOGETHER.
Manufacturng
You have always wondered how things are made. The process of creation
intrigues you. As a child, even before you could walk, you were taking
apart your toys and rebuilding them. A career in manufacturing will allow
you to work with integrated motion control systems and computer aided
design (CAD) software.
Welding
You are a creative and artistic person. You enjoy challenges and you like to solve
problems. Ultimately you like to admire your hard work in a finished product.
Welding is the most common way of permanently joining metal components. In
this process, heat is applied to metal pieces, melting and fusing them to form a
permanent bond. Because of its strength, welding is used in many different fields
from artistic metal sculpture to aerospace applications.

Marketing, Sales a
ARE YOU SOLD ON A CAR
The transfer of goods and services among businesses and consumers affects the economy at
every level. According to California occupational employment projections, retail trade will
be the fastest growing industry in the state. As businesses compete successfully in the global
marketplace, a growing need exists for employees with business expertise and the ability to
analyze and respond to emerging trends. This sector is designed to prepare learners for careers
in planning, managing, and performing marketing and sales activities.

You like having
rules, but you also
like being able to
take risks. You
enjoy working
with people and
helping them
make decisions
to better their
lives. Oftentimes
one of the
most complex
and significant
financial events
in people’s lives is
the purchase and/
or sale of a home
or an investment
property. Due
to the intricacy
and importance
of buying and/or
selling real estate,
people typically
seek the help of
real estate brokers
and sales agents.
REAL ESTATE
You could sell ice to
penguins. You are good
at creating new ideas and
expressing them to your
friends. You recognize
problems and create
plans of action to avoid
trouble. The objective of
any firm is to market and
sell its products or services
profitably. In small
firms, the owner or chief
executive officer might
assume all advertising,
promotions, marketing,
sales, and public relations
responsibilities. Large
firms may offer numerous
products and services
nationally or even
worldwide. Advertising,
marketing, promotions,
public relations, and sales
managers coordinate
market research,
marketing strategy, sales,
advertising, promotion,
pricing, product
development, and public
relations activities.

Public Service
A CAREER SERVING PEOPLE SERVES A GREAT PURPOSE
The Public Services industry sector provides a foundation for students in government, public
administration, public safety, legal services, and human services. In California, occupational
employment projections forecast growth in all of this sector’s pathways. Job openings in
state and local government services are expected to increase by 17%; in community and
social services, by 22%; in legal services, by 16%; and in protective services, by 18%. This
growth will result from heightened interest in homeland and border security as well as the
retirement of workers from the baby-boom generation.
Administration of Justice
You have a lofty sense of justice, honesty, and ethics, but you also have the ability
to adapt to various situations. You are a tolerant person who genuinely cares for
others. Law enforcement officers provide public safety by maintaining order,
responding to emergencies, protecting people and property, and promoting good
community relations.
Fire Technology
You work well under stress. You are an effective communicator who has a desire
to work with the public. Firefighters work to protect the community against injury,
loss of life, and destruction of property from fire. They help protect the public
against dangers by rapidly responding to a variety of emergencies.
Paralegal Studies
You are a logical thinker who likes to do research and investigate facts. A
courteous, honest and ethical person, you like working with the public. As a
paralegal, you will find yourself performing duties such as preparing closings,
hearings, trials, and corporate meetings.

SELF-EFFICACY
Self-efficacy is the ability to see one’s self
as successful in a particular task or role.
Self-efficacy can be developed.
How can you develop self-efficacy?
People with a strong sense of self-efficacy:
» View challenging problems as tasks to be mastered.
» Develop a deeper interest in the activities in which they participate.
» Form a stronger sense of commitment to their
interests and activities.
» Recover quickly from setbacks and disappointments.
While people with a weak sense of self-efficacy:
» Avoid challenging tasks.
» Believe that difficult tasks and situations are beyond their capabilities.
» Focus on personal failings and negative outcomes.
» Quickly lose confidence in personal abilities.

Mastering Experiences. As you succeed at new
things, you will gain confidence in your ability to
complete a task, solve a mathematical equation,
or decipher a complex engineering task.
Social Modeling. When you see others who look
or sound like you or are interested in and good at
the things that you are interested in, it provides
evidence that you can do it too (girls CAN and
boys DO, etc.).
Social Persuasion. Simply having someone give
you an honest pep talk can increase your selfefficacy.
Psychological Responses. Realizing that it is not
how you feel; it’s about how you think about how
you feel that matters! It’s natural to be nervous
when you are about to deliver a speech. However,
if you think of the nervousness as catastrophic,
you will most likely not do well nor take additional
opportunities to master public speaking.
Transportation
ARE YOU READY TO GET YOUR CAREER MOVING?
Transportation plays a crucial role in our society because moving people and goods is
central to everything America does. As the Transportation industry sector continues
to expand significantly, it will provide employment opportunities for years to
come in a vast range of transportation-related occupations. The industry
continues to adapt to changing technology and repair techniques as
vehicle components and systems become increasingly sophisticated.
Examples include developments in rocket technology, supercapacity jet airplanes, hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell
technology affecting automobiles, and diesel trucks
that run on bio-diesel or other alternative fuels. The
Transportation industry sector features career
pathways that provide opportunities from entrylevel jobs requiring high school diplomas to
progressive careers requiring advanced
degrees.

Automotive Technology
Mechanically minded and determined,
you enjoy working with the latest automotive
technology. You receive great satisfaction from
solving problems. As the primary means of transportation
in America, cars have always been an essential part of our
lives. Now, with cars becoming more technologically advanced, the
demand for skilled auto workers is higher than ever. We rely on cars for
everything from getting to work, to making dinner, to rushing to the hospital in an
emergency. As an automotive specialist, you will play a vital role in helping people get
to where they need to be when they need to be there.
Supply Chain Technology
Logical and detail oriented, you like working with your hands and with computers to solve problems.
Supply Chain Technologies, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are used heavily within the warehousing and
transportation industries. A supply chain technician installs, operates, supports, upgrades or maintains the software,
hardware, automated equipment and systems that support the supply chain.
