Promising Occupations Achievable Through Short-term Education or Training

The Promising Occupations website is a career exploration tool that features more than 600 occupations that are expected to grow over the next 10 years and pay $15 per hour or more. Using a simple interface, users can look up promising occupations—those that also have many job openings and are accessible with only short-term training or less. Users can also conduct a customized search of occupations using filters such as hourly median wage, required level of education, number of job openings, or occupation type. The tool uses publicly available and up-to-date labor market information at the state level and, where possible, at the local level, to produce detailed results on local occupational information. The tool then directs users to U.S. Department of Labor–sponsored websites to conduct customized searches for local job postings, training and apprenticeship opportunities, and certificate programs.
