Tomorrow's Careers

The Center for Career Services would like to help parents to stay abreast of information on a myriad of career fields and workplace developments so that they can support their SU students. We realize that parents take great interest in their students' career planning efforts and may be interested themselves in what is happening with career fields and employers today and for the future. Therefore we invite parents to visit the following sites:

Best Careers
A collection of profiles and articles from USNews.

How You Fit Into the Tight Job Market
Perspectives on the tight market aimed at students, drawn from surveys of employers conducted by NACE, the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

Tomorrow's Jobs
From the 2007-2008 Occupational Outlook Handbook, published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The 2004-14 Job Outlook for College Graduates
A summary with a link to a multi-page PDF for down loading.

New York State Workforce and Industry Data
All kinds of information on carers and the labor market in New York State, from the NYS Department of Labor.

100 Best Companies to Work For
As compiled by Fortune, this feature also links to other admired companies in several categories, i.e. for women, for minorities, and others.

We encourage parents to learn about developments and opportunities in the fields of interest to their children. Assistance may be had by connecting with the career offices in their children's home college. Parents wishing some additional information on web sites that provide information on specific career fields, excluding job listing sites, may also email Chuck Reutlinger , Associate Director for Information Resources and Services in the Center for Career Services, for additional help.
