By selecting a Career Pathway, all the related occupations will be identified and listed. A more focused search can be done by occupation or keyword. A range of criteria is used to select occupations for the STC database. Information is obtained from the Iowa School to Work office, Iowa Workforce Development, Iowa Department of Economic Development, Iowa Association of Business and Industry, as well as input from teachers and students. Self-employed and entrepreneurs are also represented in the database of occupations.
Every attempt is made to include persons of diverse ages, gender and ethnic backgrounds.
Individuals from across Iowa are included. The School to Careers project is supported by funds from a USDE Star Schools grant.
