The site is easy to use and provides information about each of the 6 types of interests. Students can then further see potential educational opportunities and careers that may fit into their interests. Even though the activity is written for a particular school, instructors could use the basic information as a starting point for students to investigate a career.

Simple, easy to use table that helps people find direction by relating to the 6 categories. Within each category by asking the questions: ARE YOU, CAN YOU, LIKE TO, your HOBBIES? it then lists CAREER POSSIBILITIES and a [Holland] Code: Each Code links to the US Dept. of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook.
