Career Services Virtual Career Center has a variety of new tools and resources available to assist students where they are at on their career path. This week’s spotlight is the Job Market Insights tool.

The tool provides real-time job market data to make informed decisions about future career path, explore relevant salary data, or identify the skills someone needs to build or market to get their next role.

Use the Job Market Insights tool to explore options.

There are two ways to navigate this tool:

  1. Keyword Search: Search for the title of the job you’re looking to pursue or skills you may have that are relevant to a particular career path.
  2. Narrow Down by Industry + Occupation: If you have a general sense of the industry you’d like to pursue, you can narrow down the occupations within a given industry to help you decide.

Earnings – Amount earned across all levels of experience

Skills – Most frequent hard skills listed in posted job openings
