PA Announces Debut of Career Guide to Help Students, Job Seekers

From PR Newswire: Government and Policy:

Governor Edward G. Rendell said today students and job seekers now have a new resource to help them explore the educational and career opportunities in the commonwealth.

The departments of Agriculture and Labor & Industry announced the availability, in print and online, of the 2007-08 Pennsylvania Career Guide during the Farm Show.

The publication is designed for students, parents, counselors, first-time job seekers and those considering a career change.

This year's version of the manual spotlights occupations in two of Pennsylvania's most important industries: agriculture and manufacturing.

"Agriculture is our number one industry, providing not only the food and fiber we use everyday, but also generating $45 billion for the state's economy," said Governor Rendell.

"Modern agriculture and agribusinesses require an understanding of many disciplines, from biology and environmental sciences to marketing and business management.

The opportunities for young people to study a wide array of topics and enter the field of agriculture have never been greater."

The Pennsylvania Career Guide provides job seekers with information about careers in advanced materials & diversified manufacturing; agriculture & food processing; building & construction; business & financial services; education; information & communication services; life sciences (includes health care); logistics & transportation; lumber, wood & paper; and other industries.

"Workers must have the skills necessary to compete and succeed in an increasingly challenging, knowledge-based workplace," Governor Rendell said.

The Pennsylvania Career Guide is produced by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry's Center for Workforce Information & Analysis and the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

It is distributed to Pennsylvania's 501 school districts, PA CareerLink offices and is also available online at http://www.dli.state.pa.us, Keyword: Career Guide.
