Every day, the world gets a little smaller.
Technology and the ability to instantly share information
are rapidly changing the global landscape. As the
economy becomes more global, new career options are
becoming available. Choosing a career is important.
This guide was developed to serve as a starting point to
explore the wide range of degree and certificate career
options available at the Maricopa Community Colleges.
Whether you are just getting started, are changing careers,
or need to update your skills, the Maricopa Community
Colleges can provide the flexibility and support you need
to begin your successful career path.
This publication includes occupational
samples for each career cluster. These occupations
are aligned with programs offered by the Maricopa Community
Colleges and have been determined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics (national data) or Economic Modeling Specialists Intl.
(local data) to fit into one of the following job outlook categories.
Bright Outlook careers are new and emerging occupations, are
expected to have at least a 29% increase in employment over 2010
and 2020, or are projected to have 100,000 or more job openings
over 2010 and 2020.
Average Outlook careers are projected to have at least a 10%
increase in employment over 2010 and 2020, but don’t meet the
criteria for Bright Outlook.
Positive Growth job openings in Maricopa County are expected to
increase between 2010 and 2020
The National Center for O*NET Development, as part of its efforts to
keep up with the changing world of work, investigated the impact
of green economy activities and technologies on occupational
requirements and the development of New and Emerging (N&E)
occupations. Results of the research led to the identification of green
economic sectors, green increased demand occupations, green enhanced
skills occupations, and green (N&E) occupations. These occupations
are now reflected in the O*NET-SOC system (directly quoted from:
http://www.onetcenter.org/green.html/) and carry the green leaf
designation
in this publication.

What You Need to Know for College and Career Planning Success
Technological advances and global competition have
transformed the nature of work. Today’s jobs require increased
knowledge, advanced skills, and greater flexibility than in
the past. To remain competitive, workers must be prepared
to change jobs and careers numerous times while constantly
updating their knowledge and skills.
In addition to education and training, employers also highly
value certain qualities in prospective and current employees.
According to the National Association of Colleges and
Employers (NACE) Job Outlook 2011, the important qualities
shown on the right were highly sought by employers when
making hiring decisions.
The bottom line is that education, commitment to ongoing
learning, adaptability, and possession of strong work qualities
can greatly enhance your career success in today’s and
tomorrow’s workforce.
Please use this Career Guide as a starting point for exploring
your career opportunities. For your convenience, career
preparation programs are categorized under “Career Clusters”
(Based on The National Career ClustersTM Framework). Each
Career Cluster contains occupations in similar fields of work
that require similar skills. For further assistance or additional
information, please contact a career services professional at a
Maricopa Community College near you.

University Transfer
Start at a Maricopa Community College.
What are my transfer options?
If you are interested in earning
a bachelor’s degree, attending a
Maricopa Community College
before transferring to a four-year university saves you money
and provides outstanding learning opportunities.
While you can apply to transfer anywhere, the Maricopa
Community Colleges have established transfer partnerships
with Arizona’s public universities (Arizona State University,
Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona)
and more than 30 regionally accredited private and outof-state colleges and universities. These partnerships help
you transition smoothly from one college to the next by
maximizing the applicability of your Maricopa Community
College credits. In addition, many university partners offer
you early advisement and transcript evaluation, as well as
financial incentives, such as transfer scholarships, waived
application fees, textbook waivers, and special tuition
incentives for military personnel. You can learn more
at http://www.maricopa.edu/transfer/partners/
AAS-BAS
In addition to providing a solid foundation of knowledge
and skills to prepare you for the workplace, your Associate in
Applied Science degree or certificate of completion can fulfill
some bachelor’s degree requirements, which helps you advance
your education. Many AAS degrees lead directly into Bachelor
of Applied Science (BAS) degrees, and other transfer options
are also available. It is important to work with an academic
advisor to design an educational plan that addresses your shortterm and long-term goals. Together, you can determine if you
should consider completing an AGEC (Arizona General Education
Curriculum) certificate or a different associate’s degree, such
as an Associate in Arts, Business, or Science — a few of the
degrees traditionally intended for transfer students. Whether or
not your initial goals include university transfer, it is never too
late to consider extending your education and broadening your
career opportunities.
Why transfer and earn a
bachelor ’s degree?
Preparing for a successful career in a demanding job market
requires advanced education. The benefits of completing a
bachelor’s degree include increased career opportunities,
knowledge, and skills that keep you competitive in the job
market. The amount of education you receive also influences
the amount you will earn over your entire life. According to the
U.S. Census Bureau, the highest earnings are coupled with the
highest levels of educational attainment. Graduates who hold
a bachelor’s degree earn nearly twice the lifelong earnings of
workers who have only a high school diploma.
6
Who can help me?
A variety of student services are offered at the Maricopa
Community Colleges. Academic advising sessions are
a valuable source of support in your college planning,
especially if you want to transfer to a university. Advisors
are able to help you develop a detailed educational plan so
you can choose the right courses, meet degree requirements
in a timely manner, and save time and money. Depending
on which college you attend, advisors may be available
online and in different offices on campus, including
advisement and transfer centers, enrollment services,
academic departments, career services, disability resources
and services, veterans centers, multicultural services,
international education, among others. Admissions and
records and financial aid functions also serve a role in
supporting successful student transfer. Consult your
college’s website or ask a college employee where to seek
advisement and other services on your campus.
Financial Aid
What is financial aid?
Financial aid funding is intended to help students
pay for educational expenses—tuition, fees, books,
supplies, and even living expenses. The Free Application
for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) is an important
part of the process. Be sure to apply early at
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
Who gets financial aid?
Financial aid eligibility varies with each funding source.
Read on! There are many different criteria and financial
aid options.
What kind of financial aid is available?
Grants—Financial aid that does not need to be repaid,
as long as satisfactory criteria are maintained.
Loans—Borrowed money, some of which must be repaid
with interest.
Work Study—Money earned while working on campus
and enrolled in school to help pay for educational
expenses.
Scholarships—Funds donated or provided by the college,
the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation or other
individuals/organizations for educational expenses.
Are additional options available?
Military Aid—Montgomery GI Bill and ROTC are two
examples of resources available to military veterans
and recruits.
Tuition Reimbursement—Many employers offer tuition
reimbursement programs for employees and sometimes
children of employees. Each company has specific criteria,
so check with your employer today.
How can I get financial aid?
For many students, finding the money to pay for tuition
can be the biggest hurdle to going to college. However,
there are a variety of financial aid options to help; and
with proper preparation, planning, and organization,
getting financial aid can be easier than you think.
Get a Head Start—The sooner you apply, the better.
Each January, or as soon as possible after the beginning
of the new year, you should complete and submit your
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the
following academic year.
Pay Attention to the Details—Little things like a
mismatched Social Security number can delay or even
disqualify your application. So if you’ve recently gotten
married and changed your name, be sure to update all
of your personal information. Check to ensure that the
program you have selected is federal student aid eligible.
Don’t Forget Selective Service—All men are required to
register with Selective Service at age 18. Your FAFSA will
be checked against your Selective Service status.
Registering only takes a few minutes, and you can do it
at your local post office.
Make Timely Payments on Existing Loans—If you
have any outstanding student loans, it’s critical that you
maintain a good payment history in order to get new
financial aid. A government database check will reveal
your payment history.
Just the Facts—Be sure to fill out your FAFSA completely
and accurately. However, do not volunteer any additional
information if it is not requested in your FAFSA, as the
processors will not consider it.
Keep Your Grades Up—Poor grades, dropped classes,
and incompletes can all affect your eligibility for future
financial aid.
There are multiple sources for assistance.
When it comes to funding your education, be creative
and do your research. However, be cautious of fraudulent
financial aid companies or websites requesting a fee for
services or making promises that sound too good to be
true. Be sure to search for scholarships and deadlines
on college websites. Below is a brief list of legitimate
resources for you to review.
Arizona and Maricopa County Scholarships
www.maricopa.edu/resdev/scholarships
Over 1,500 Maricopa Community College students benefit
annually from scholarships funded by contributions to the
Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation.
www.azfoundation.org/scholarships The Arizona Community Foundation (ACF) is the largest
private provider of scholarships in Arizona. In 2006, ACF
awarded more than 1,000 scholarships totaling more than
$3.9 million.
National Financial Aid

information, advice, and tools—on or off the Web.

Understanding the Letters
Each of these letters represents an interest category. You will typically find that occupations that match your
interests will be more satisfying and rewarding than those that don’t meet your interests. The columns where you
have the most check marks show your strongest interests. Here are the descriptions of each interest type.
R
People with “Realistic” interests enjoy work
activities that include practical, hands-on
problems and solutions. They like dealing
with plants, animals, and real-world materials, like
wood, tools, and machinery. They enjoy outdoor
work. Typically, people with realistic interests do not
like occupations that mainly involve paperwork or
working closely with others.
Sample occupations include mechanic, chef,
engineer, and police officer.
I
People with “Investigative” interests enjoy work
activities that relate to ideas and thinking more
than with physical activity. They like to search for
facts and figure out problems mentally, rather than
persuade or lead people.
Sample occupations include psychologist,
pharmacist, computer programmer, and doctor.
A
People with “Artistic” interests enjoy work
activities that deal with the artistic side of
things, such as forms, designs, and patterns.
They like self-expression in their work. They prefer
settings where work can be done without following a
clear set of rules.
Sample occupations include musician, art teacher,
reporter, and interior designer.
S
People with “Social” interests enjoy work
activities that assist others and promote
learning and personal development. They prefer
to communicate more than to work with objects,
machines, or data. They like to teach, give advice, help,
or otherwise be of service to people.
Sample occupations include social worker, counselor,
occupational therapist, and school administrator.
E
People with “Enterprising” interests enjoy
work activities that have to do with starting up
and carrying out projects, especially business
ventures. They like persuading and leading people
and making decisions. They like taking risks for profit.
These people prefer action rather than thought.
Sample occupations include salesperson, public
relations specialist, lawyer, and business owner.
C
People with “Conventional” interests enjoy
work activities that follow set procedures and
routines. They prefer working with data and
details more than with ideas. They prefer work in
which there are precise standards rather than work
in which you have to judge things by yourself. These
people like working where the lines of authority
are clear.
Sample occupations include accountant, secretary,
dental assistant, and math teacher.
What’s Next?
Interest assessments are not designed to tell you exactly what job is right for you. Rather,
they are great for getting you to think about work interests. Take the time to look at two
or three sections where you had high scores. Try combining results of other assessments
with this one. Many possibilities are out there!
There are many career assessment tools and resources available through Community
College Career Services. To learn more about the resources available to you, contact a
Career Center. A list of Centers is located on page 1.

Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources
This broad sector involves the management of agricultural products
and natural resources in ways that are sustainable and minimize
their impact on the environment. There are many career pathways
available to persons interested in the agriculture, food, and natural
resources sector. Some include traditional careers in areas such as
food production and processing, plant and animal systems, veterinary
care, and natural resource management. Other pathways offer
careers in emerging “green” industries such as renewable energy and
environmental services such as conservation, waste management,
pollution control, and water treatment. In the future, we will all be
faced with the challenge of natural resource conservation, not only
for the purpose of environmental protection, but also to promote
job creation, protect our national security, and leave a livable planet
for future generations. Workers at all levels trained in sustainable
techniques will be more attractive to employers.
Occupation
For anyone who plans to enter the job market in this field, a
strong knowledge base in English, math, and science, along
with critical thinking, monitoring, and active listening
skills, are a must.
High school students should meet with an advisor/guidance
counselor to create an appropriate career action plan that
may include high school classes in:
• Agriculture
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Culinary Arts
• English
• Math

Architecture and Construction
If you’ve always loved to create and build things, careers in
architecture, engineering, and construction will meet your creative
desires. The U.S. will add a quarter-of-a-million new jobs in
architecture and engineering by 2020. Even the construction industry,
which posted deep reductions in its workforce over the past several
years, is expected to see brighter days ahead. According to the experts,
jobs in construction are expected to increase nationwide by 2020. Also
good news, many of these are well-paying jobs. It is anticipated there
will be jobs in skilled trades such as electricians, plumbers, surveyors,
and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). Many of these
careers are growing increasingly “green,” as workers master techniques,
materials, and systems that define sustainability.

Most everyone knows what education means. After all, we’ve been touched by
formal education since we attended preschool. For that matter, if your parents
ever read you a bedtime story, you were being taught about the world around
you. Training to be an educator is just as wide-reaching and important.
Educational training provides instruction at all academic levels from preschool
and elementary and high schools, to colleges, universities, trade schools,
tutoring, and counseling. It is also one of the fastest growing industries in
the U.S.—experts estimate that between 2010 and 2020, jobs in education
will increase more than 15%.
a strong knowledge base in English, math, psychology,
and sociology, along with instruction, active listening, and
speaking skills, are a must.
• Education Professions
• English
• Sociology
• Speech
The fastest growing jobs in education include preschool teachers, elementary
teachers, special education teachers, middle school teachers, and college
professors. Careers in education are growing because more workers are returning
to school to enhance or update their skills, there are more federal standards that have to be met, and a high percentage of Baby Boomer
teachers will retire in the coming years. Most jobs in education require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree.

Engineering and Technology
Engineering involves the science and skill of applying knowledge to design
and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials, and processes.
Technology is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools,
machines, techniques, and systems in order to solve a problem or improve
a preexisting solution to a problem. Persons specializing in engineering
and technology have taken extensive coursework in mathematics, physics,
chemistry, and the applied sciences. Many work in laboratories and
testing centers, conduct research and development, and are involved in
manufacturing or construction. Given the critical nature of the work in this
sector, job possibilities for persons trained in engineering and technology
abound, even in times of economic downturn. In the future, more engineers
and technologists (those who have a broad and deep understanding
of the technology) will be needed to meet challenges in areas, such as
environmental protection, advanced manufacturing, electronics development,
and infrastructure improvement. Maintaining a workforce that is well-versed in
engineering and technology is a key portion of the public education agenda of
the U.S. and is vital to the long-term health of the American economy.

Finance is the study of how investors allocate their assets over time
under conditions of certainty and uncertainty. People who work in finance
measure risk vs. profit to determine whether an investment is good or not.
Finance can be broken into three different subcategories: public finance
(government), corporate finance (private sector), and personal finance
(individuals).

Health Sciences
Jobs in the health sciences industry provide medical assistance to people.
Health science employees work in hospitals, doctors’ offices, nursing homes,
and medical labs. It is one of the nation’s largest and fastest growing
industries—demand for jobs is expected to grow as the nation’s 70+ million
Baby Boomers approach retirement age. Experts say over half of the fastest
growing jobs in the U.S. in the next 10 years are in health or health-related
sectors. Depending on the health science career you choose, many states
require health science employees to be certified in their profession.

healthcare and social assistance industries. There is also growing
interest in sustainable food systems and restaurants that offer
health-conscious menus. Beginning salaries in hospitality and

Human Services
Human services jobs are those that relate to families and human needs.
Persons who work in human services provide a variety of social assistance
to children, elderly people, people with disabilities, and others. The
sector includes counseling, mental health services, family and community
services, personal care, and customer service. Human services is growing
fast. Jobs are projected to increase 5.5% each year between 2010 and
2020, making it the second-fastest growing sector during this period, just
behind home healthcare services. Human services are growing fast because
of the rising number of people 65 years and older, who are projected to
increase from 40 million in 2010 to 55 million in 2020. Also, rising healthcare costs are expected to shift services from more costly hospitals and
inpatient facilities to less costly individual and family service providers.
Along with counseling and community services, human services include
jobs related to personal care, such as aestheticians, cosmetologists, and
personal trainers. These positions are expected to grow as fast as or faster
than average, as most people require their services.
For anyone who plans to enter the job market in
this field, a strong knowledge base in English and
psychology, along with social perceptiveness, active
listening, and speaking skills, are a must.

Information Technology
Ever wonder how information and computers work together to help
companies? Information technology (IT) has as much to do with managing
data as it does with computers, and IT jobs are spread across all types of
businesses.
Information is best supported by computer technology, and any company
that uses computers in its day-to-day operations requires IT support.
Employment in this field is expected to grow because of increased demand
for the design, construction, and management of computer networks,
network and computer systems security, mobile technologies, custom
programming services, data processing and hosting, cloud computing, and
web broadcasting. The healthcare industry’s ongoing move to electronic
records will also drive employment growth in IT.
For anyone who plans to enter the job market in this
field, a strong knowledge base in English and math, along
with critical thinking, complex problem solving, systems
analysis, and reading comprehension skills are a must.

Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security
Public safety is a term used to describe the administration of justice,
public order, and protection. This can include legal services, the courts,
police, fire, correctional, and parole institutions, as well as investigative
and security services. Public safety nationwide is projected to add more
than 364,000 jobs by 2020. About a third of the new jobs created will be
in government, while another 40% will be in the investigation and security
services industry. Private detectives and investigators, security guards,
forensic science technicians, paralegals, and firefighters, are among the
fastest growing jobs in public safety. Renewed national interest in public
safety and security should help expand opportunities for employment in
this sector. Numerous job openings will stem from employment growth
attributable to the desire for increased corporate, industrial, and homeland
security.
For anyone who plans to enter the job market in this field, a strong
knowledge base in English, psychology, and science, along with active
listening, social perceptiveness, and critical thinking, are a must.
High school students should meet with an advisor/guidance counselor
to create an appropriate career action plan that may include high
school classes in:
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Fire Science
• Government
• JROTC
• Law Enforcement

Traditional ideas about manufacturing have changed. More and more,
manufacturing jobs are high-tech oriented, and workers who have
current industry skills are more likely to maintain employment. Wages
in manufacturing are among the highest for all areas of industry. In the
Phoenix area, many of these jobs pay 10-50% above the average wage
compared to other jobs in the region. These jobs are also in demand.
Many employers, particularly in manufacturing, suffer shortages of skilled
workers; and retiring Baby Boomers will only increase employment demand.
Computer equipment, aerospace, and electronic instruments are some of
the largest manufacturing, engineering, and technology sectors in Greater
Phoenix.

Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics
Jobs in transportation, distribution, and logistics are responsible for
managing the movement of goods, information, and people. They include
air, rail, water, and truck transportation; warehousing and storage; and
vehicle repair. As the global economy continues to grow, American imports
and exports will also grow; and employment in transportation, distribution,
and logistics will increase. Technology is also transforming the industry,
as systems are being developed that allow for better tracking of product
information to streamline the distribution process. Examples of jobs in
this area include truck drivers, auto mechanics, cargo and freight agents,
and airline employees. Greater Phoenix has a substantial transportation,
distribution, and logistics sector. This is due to the region’s growing
population, location near western markets, and presence of major retail
distribution centers and large industry employers, such as Knight and Swift
Transportation and Sky Harbor International Airport.

along with repairing, trouble-shooting, critical thinking,
