OCCUPATIONAL DESCRIPTIONS

These job descriptions are from the California Employment Development Department (EDD) Occupational Guides  and the US Department of Labor (DOL) Occupational Outlook Handbook.  We have only referenced the guides that relate to the programs that we normally conduct training in.  However, the Occupation Guides contains many more Job Descriptions and are available to anyone at :

EDD: California LaborMarketInfo, Career Center or

DOL: http://www.bls.gov/search/ooh.asp?ct=OOH.

OCCUPATIONAL WAGE RATES

The following is from the Employment Development Department California Director of California Local Area Wages.  Again, we have linked to those trades that we normally offer training in.  However, other jobs can be found at: www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/cgi/career/?PAGEID=3&SUBID=152.

OCCUPATIONAL PROJECTIONS

The following table was extracted from the California Employment Development Site on September 25, 2003 at http://www.calmis.ca.gov/htmlfile/subject/occproj.htm. It is an estimate of Construction Occupations on a Statewide Basis.  From time to time, we will review this site to try and keep this table up to date.  However, users are encouraged to go to this site directly to confirm that they are using the most up to date data.  In addition, this site also includes projections by county which could be very useful in making future plans.
