Even if you have a much earlier version of
metered CareerScope, you will get the following features from all versions when you upgrade:
CareerScope 10.0 (Released March 2010):
§ Group
Clusters Report: This new report allows you to
identify those test-takers with assessment profiles that are aligned with designated career clusters. This new search and
reporting capability will facilitate efficient review of career cluster outcomes for large groups of students as well as identification
of those individuals who may be prime candidates for program recruitment and/or invitation to relevant career exploration
and awareness programming.
§ Updated Occupational Databases: CareerScope’s occupational databases incorporate the most up-to-date information from the Department
of Labor’s O*NET career information database (version 14) as well as the latest update to the SOC taxonomy.
CareerScope 9.0 (Released March 2009):
§ Updated Occupational Databases: CareerScope’s occupational databases have been updated to ensure that all information is consistent with
O*NET 13 while reflecting
significant high growth and high replacement occupations from the Bureau of Labor Statistics employment projections through
2016. The revised databases reflect 77% of all BLS-projected job openings through the year 2016, with 52% of the CareerScope
job titles designated as “in-demand” occupations at the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*NET website.
(“In demand” occupations are found in critical high growth industries that are projected to add substantial numbers
of new jobs and which are being transformed by technology and innovation.)
§ Group Pathways Report: This new report allows you to identify those test-takers with assessment profiles that are
aligned with designated career pathways. This new search and reporting capability will facilitate efficient review of career
pathway outcomes for large groups of students as well as identification of those individuals who may be prime candidates for
program recruitment and/or invitation to relevant career exploration and awareness programming.
